1. A network connection and control system which provides network connection options to a user, the system comprising:
- at least one hardware processor; and
computer network communication hardware configured to provide a communication path between the at least one hardware processor and a user'"'"'s network enabled device;
the at least one hardware processor configured to;
present to a user'"'"'s network enabled device display content that enables the user to select one of a plurality of network connection parameters including a bandwidth parameter amongst two or more available bandwidth parameters, anddynamically set a user'"'"'s selected bandwidth parameter from the two or more available bandwidth parameters.

6. A method of providing a user'"'"'s device with a bandwidth rate associated with a network connection, the method comprising:
-
presenting the user with display content on a user'"'"'s device, the display content providing network connection parameter options which enables a user of the user'"'"'s device to select network connection parameters associated with the user'"'"'s device'"'"'s connection to a network; receiving the user'"'"'s network connection parameter selection, wherein the network connection parameter selection includes an indication of a desired bandwidth amongst two or more available bandwidth to be associated with the user'"'"'s device'"'"'s network connection; and dynamically setting the desired bandwidth with the user'"'"'s device'"'"'s connection to the network. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A network connection and control system which provides network connection options to a user, the system comprising:
-
at least one hardware processor; and computer network communication hardware configured to provide a communication path between the at least one hardware processor and a user'"'"'s network enabled device, said communication path having a first bandwidth parameter; the at least one hardware processor configured to present to a user'"'"'s network enabled device a portal that enables the user to change the first bandwidth parameter of the communication path to a second bandwidth parameter, said second bandwidth parameter corresponding to a higher connection speed than the first bandwidth parameter. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
