How to Get Broadband Internet With No Credit Card

by David Johnston, Demand Media

Broadband access is increasingly becoming a necessity as many websites are difficult if not impossible to use without high-speed Internet. Fortunately, broadband penetration has steadily risen throughout the nation and the world through the cooperation of both governments and the telecommunication industry. Also, companies that provide broadband generally allow various payment methods in order to include customers in all situations.

Step 1

Search for broadband suppliers in your area using a phone directory or an online tool. Contact one of the local providers to setup your service.

Step 2

Provide the necessary information to the provider's customer service representative. Although credit cards are not required, you may still need to provide a Social Security number for a credit check. A low credit score won't necessarily disqualify you for service, but it may necessitate that you pay a deposit.

Step 3

Setup payment arrangements with the customer service representative. Most companies offer a variety of options including online payment with a checking account, mailing in check or money order payments, or paying in person at a local office.
