Ga-Ga for Google

Users are fans of the company's highly relevant searches. We're fans because Google is a dotcom that's making money.

By Michelle Prather • Apr 1, 2002

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Depending on how hip to the Web you are, you may or may not have heard of Google. You've likely heard catch phrases like "odd Google," which is commonly used in Web logs and online diaries when visitor stats reveal a person reached a site by typing a laughable combination of words into the search engine. Or perhaps when utilizing Yahoo! to search the Web, you ended up with results "powered by Google."

Whichever way you look at it, the masses are catching on to the buzz, and an increasing number of users--from the 100-plus Internet companies that pay Google Inc. for its search services to journalists scouring the Net for extremely specific information--are looking to the Mountain View, California, search engine company for the best results. The exact formula for attaining the best results is a well-guarded secret, but the reasons why Google has not only stayed afloat amid the dotcom dive and current recession, but avoided layoffs to boot are quite obvious.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone out there. Read some reviews from verified customers to get the real scoop on internet providers in Columbus .

Shelia W  |  02-07-2022

Internet has dropped twice this month and it's only the 7th. Super frustrating when I have homework that needs to be done and am in the middle of it. Prices are fair for a service that is unreliable.

Nichelle F  |  01-03-2022

I had NO idea that I was being charged separately for wifi/ cable. When I went to At&t for cell phone. I'm not satisfied with the 3 bills I'm getting. I should have stayed with Mediacom and Straight talk. Thought they would be better but they are worse. Live and learn. I thought I was paying for both as bundle come find out only paying for one. So wifi been disconnected. This terrible my cable/ wifi have never been turned off before. Until I go with At&t

Courtney S  |  07-26-2021

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when you are finally getting to cancel this sorry service, make sure to cancel before a new billing cycle begins because they will not prorate your bill. On top of that if it’s conveniently right when your year ‘promotion’ is up be prepared to pay the inflated price for service you won’t even be using.

Matt A  |  07-06-2015

Mediacom internet is a reliable company, with high speed (sometimes requiring you to talk to their support staff to fix connection speed issues), but they have recently introduced data usage caps which leads to overage charges. Once you go over, you pay for each 50 GB block of data you consume. If you're over by 5 GB, that's one block. If you're over by 50.001 GB, that's 2 blocks. Many users won't hit their cap, but family homes with people who stream video and play video games online and download the games from the internet will be up against the data cap each month and will have to cut back to avoid overages.

About verizon internet services in columbus, ga.

With Verizon, you’ll get the fast internet service you need to stay connected to your digital world. In some areas, High Speed Internet (DSL) is available with 99.9% network reliability. In other locations, Verizon Fios offers ultra-fast speeds of up to 940/880 Mbps that can power up to 100 devices at once. That kind of speed is ideal for tech-forward households who like to stream movies and enjoy low-lag gaming. And in parts of many cities now you can also access the next-generation, game-changing technology of 5G Home Internet. To quickly find out which Verizon internet services are available at your home, take a look at our coverage map.

Questions are good. Answers are better.

Do you need a lot of bandwidth for many people to stream, game and video chat on multiple devices at once - or just a single DSL connection to get online? Fortunately, all of Verizon's broadband internet services offer access to speed, reliability and performance, and we're happy to help recommend the service that fits your lifestyle. Verizon offers a wide variety of internet plans that exceed expectations, with an internet connection option that's sure to meet your needs.

In some areas of the country you may be able to order award-winning Verizon Fios, while in other locations we offer High Speed Internet (DSL) service with 99.9% network reliability and proven performance. In addition, our latest offering, 5G Home Internet, which has been launched in several cities across the nation, is the first-ever home internet powered by 5G Ultra Wideband. With typical speeds of 300 Mbps and peak speeds of up to 1 Gig, it offers plenty of bandwidth for streaming your favorite content on your 4K-enabled devices -- with Wi-Fi coverage for your home.

Depending on where you live, Fios (fiber-optic network) and High Speed Internet (DSL) are just a couple of the options you may have for reliable, high-speed internet service. If you live in any of the cities and suburbs around the country where Verizon 5G Home Internet is currently offered, you might be able to connect to this wireless internet service to stream, game and power your smart home. In other areas where Fios or 5G Home Internet isn't available, we may offer LTE Home Internet, another home broadband internet service that delivers wireless home internet powered by our 4G LTE network. To see what internet services we currently offer in your area, visit our check availability page.

We also offer a wide variety of wireless services nationwide, including 4G LTE, 5G Nationwide and, in parts of select cities around the country, 5G Ultra Wideband. With several flexible shared data and Unlimited plans to choose from, you're sure to find a cell phone plan and device that fits your lifestyle.

We're on the move every day creating the networks that move the world forward. 5G Nationwide mobile service is now available to more than 230 million people in over 2,700 cities and counting, while 5G Ultra Wideband mobile service is currently available in parts of more than 60 cities around the country. In addition, we've launched 5G Home Internet service in select areas of several major cities nationwide including Los Angeles, Houston and Chicago − with more coming online soon. To find out whether Verizon 5G and Verizon is available near you, take a look at our coverage map , and check back often for the latest updates.

LTE Home Internet is home broadband internet service that delivers fast internet for everyone in your household through the power of the Verizon 4G LTE network. It's available now in select areas of 48 states where there are no other Verizon broadband options such as Verizon Fios or 5G Home Internet. With LTE Home Internet you can enjoy unlimited data, typical download speeds of 25 Mbps and peak download speeds of 50 Mbps.

Verizon Fios is a 100% fiber-optic network that delivers some of the fastest internet speeds available to millions of homes in the Mid-Atlantic and New England. It uses fiber optics to transmit data at the speed of light, providing a fast internet connection with incredible reliability and powerful bandwidth for multiple devices. Verizon offers symmetrical or nearly matching download and upload speeds with Fios, which can be a major advantage when you're video chatting, gaming and sharing large files or images. For more information, visit the Fios home page .

If you're located in the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S., it's likely that Verizon Fios services are offered in your area. To find out more, visit our Fios page .

DSL (digital subscriber line) internet is technology that connects you to the internet over a telephone network. Verizon's High Speed Internet (DSL) gives you a dedicated internet access line from our central office to your home with fast speeds, proven performance and 99.9% network reliability. Because DSL uses telephone lines to transmit data, the infrastructure is widespread and accessible even to customers in some rural areas.

How can I compare internet providers in Columbus ?

Before committing to any Columbus internet provider, it’s important to first determine that the plan you’re interested in matches your connectivity demands. Comparing providers is a crucial step in your decision-making process and there are several important factors to consider before making your final decision including:

What internet speed do I need?

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) defines fast internet as a web connection offering download speeds of at least 25 Mbps and upload speeds of at least 3 Mbps. These standard speeds smoothly support most common online activities such as web browsing, high-definition video streaming, and file downloading.

How much bandwidth do I need?

Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted via internet connection within a fixed amount of time. In simpler terms, bandwidth measures the total volume of information that can be transferred.

Learn how much bandwidth your household or business needs by determining the following factors:
