Torin_Darkflight Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Currently forced to use slow, clunky, nauseating dialup. Hopefully though in the next few months we'll be able to switch over to a public WiFi service offered by a local ISP (We're just barely within the 4-mile range of the transmitter tower).

baker7 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 DSL Here: LOVE it: I have Emmanuel. Defiant, Voyager2 (Playstation) and Voyager 3 (XBOX) connected via my router - Made sure that 3MB was available where I reside, and when I got the answer, I dumped cable 2 weeks later - DSL is faster, and more reliable then cable is, and I have not had one outage that I have noticed - and my PINGS are low when online playing Xbox or PS2 Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honda_Boy Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) Have 768K cable. been usin cable for bout 5 years, we are on our second provider. my bedroom computer has a $20 wireless LAN card by Foxconn (got it at newegg) that's dang good and it connects to my $35 Belkin Wireless Router (thank you Office Max). It's all good stuff. Had to use Ralink's drivers from their website to get the card to work right. The CD drivers sucked. I'm good at gettin deals ain't I.

jdpatel Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Had dial up for like 3-4 years and it was a nightmare . Then got 384k cable from Charter for about 6-7 months and then upgraded to 3MB also from Charter just this month. I just love cable . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 cable here. When I visit my parents house, I borrow the neighbors signal. As to securing your wifi, I must have broadcasted mine for about a month or two. Initially when I set up my router I enabled wireless security. One day I needed to reset it. From that day on I was running an open network. Since I was not using any wireless devices, I did not even think to secure it. Oh well :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
