Mac broadband

Mac broadband

If you’re an Apple Mac user, you’ll know that it can sometimes be difficult to find a provider that offers Mac-compatible broadband modems and wireless routers, so we have put together a list of providers that offer Mac compatible modem with their packages.

Broadband for Macs

Although the Windows PC is still the market leader, the continuing success of Apple has forced many broadband companies to look at providing hardware that’s compatible with Macs.

Broadband itself isn’t either Mac or PC; it’s just the hardware and software that’s provided with your connection that determines which operating system you can use. And while you can buy your own modem or router to ensure compatibility, if your ISPs installation disc doesn’t work, you still won’t be able to connect.

Mac broadband options

We have listed some of the ISPs that offer Mac compatible products, and you can also do a broadband comparison search to find out what else is available.
