Heres one, maybe for OZ...
Im moving house at the end of the month and my only options for Broadband being out of town are...
1. To keep the Cable connection they have (think its pretty expensive, he used it for online gaming)
2. To get Telstra Wireless..... BUT Do i get a wireless desktop modem or go with the Card modem for the laptop...
I recon the laptop card makes it much more mobile, but if i get anyone move in with another coputer / laptop, then they will have to route through my laptop to use the net.. (or get another connection which dont make much sense)
What do yas recon?!!?!?
the easy way would be to stay were u are, me thinks
Im on ADSL, where im moving to the lines dont support DSL. So ive basically got stick with his cable account, Wireless or dial up..
Main question is which wireless.. Telstra have said they woudl swap my account for me, just gotta pick which one
How fast do you want your connection? How fast is it now? That is what you should be asking.
I dont think it has anything to do with speed other than i want dial up or broadband.. I dont want dial up..
I dont want to take over his cable, although alot stabler connection, its too expensive and i dont play games.. My options are satalite (which is CRAP, i know i used to work for a sat company) or wireless.. My questions is to which wireless device to go for?
Why would you want to have anything other than cable ???????
You said the conection is allready on the premises so why fart arse about trying to get anything else.
Cable is the fastest of any of the services runs something like a constant 1500
Bullshit it's more expensive
Only reason I dont have it here is because they only alot X amount of conection per street so as not to overload the lines.
A mate has got it in the same street & he's paying slightly less than me.
It only gets expensive when you start including services like pay TV to the account.
Unless you ring to find out you're only speculating.
Cable is not a servie that can be connected out here anymore jumpus.. Its the middle of nowhere and its a special connection.. The only reason they let him keep it was because the wireless loses to many packets for gaming and you canot get a stable connection. Because he already has it they cannot take it off him.
I cannot keep the cable at the house unless it stays in his name and i pay him for it, otherwise they want to disconnect the line. I dont particularly want to pay for it cause it is nearly 3 times the cost of wireless... Ive seen the bills and gone through it all already..
Thus the reason im looking at ; which wireless system to go for?
The 3G system is done by mobile towering and satelite system and is alot beter than just satelite.
But be aware they really hit you hard for over usage on that system.
I have been reading this and see that the best option would be to try it out for a period that you are there. That way you find out how much you are using and wow could be cheaper as you do not play games.
My 2 cents! Can kinda believe the cable thing, in some areas where I install the waiting list on cable and even ADSL is so big the moment someone disconnects due to whatever reason their port is given to the next on the list! The service providers didn't allow enough in their carrier systems for such rapid growth in the high speed data internet business.
Been using a 3G mobile for a few months now and the coverage in known blackspots is velly good, I guess its the same as what you would use for a PC!
