Choosing an Internet Service Provider Hawaii's public schools are provided direct-connect access to the Internet free by the Department of Education.
Schools are responsible for installing the network backbone to bring that access to every room.
With the help of E-rate, a government sponsored network installation program, more and more schools are able to offer all of their students and teachers convenient and fast Internet access. Thousands of local, national, and international ISPs offer access to the Internet. ISP's have a wide range of prices and packages for users to choose from. There are accounts custom tailored for high level users and Web designers and accounts for the more moderate Internet user. The first thing to consider when choosing an ISP is whether you want a local or national provider.
