Level -> How do you surf the net? (6/14/2009 4:32:20 PM)
Once upon a time, I had high speed internet, with RoadRunner. Now, I have a semi-shitty wirelss aircard thing, from AT&T and Franklin. I'm looking at satellite service, maybe Hughes.net or Wild Blue. Any thoughts on these, and what do you use to surf?

Different country but Ive had highspeed, since 1998 or nine Ithink, its been a long time. Before that it was dialup before that was commodore and the 1200 baud. I have to admit to being spoiled and loving highspeed, and would be horrified to have to go back to something else. Off Topic, but Mr Level, it is so lovely to see you back among us, you have been misssed as Im sure you know:) hugggggs ya I Hope all your family are well and that you are back to stay. Lucy

i have lite speed from ATT. I teaching myself patience and am not spending extra money just to get nowhere faster. I surf the net all the time looking up information that I seek without any problem of it being lite speed.

Oh my! The internet monsters just atttacked me. The internet explorer stoped and started itself back up again but it wouldn't stop starting up, i had 6 windows internet explorers open at one time, and they just kept coming so i could surf the internet. Now talk about being fast:)

I'm online on a wing and a prayer Level (see my "online..." thread!) by the looks. But however youre online - at least you are online, and that has to be a bonus for everyone! E

Hey E [:D]; my connection is behaving tonight, so far, but it was horrible yesterday.

pahunkboy -> RE: How do you surf the net? (6/14/2009 5:25:09 PM)
Simple DSL. Which I could not get at the old place- but the house 20 feet away could. They tried to up my rate. I said no.... XYZ has it for $14.99 a month...can you match that? They did. If not I was going to go with VTISP. Google it. $4 for 150 hours. it cuts off to the $3.95 is just that- not a penny more.- easy to cancel and almost as fast as DSL.

Level -> RE: How do you surf the net? (6/14/2009 5:37:19 PM)
Hi pahunk. I just looked at that VTISP site, it sounds decent, but I wonder if it is faster than what I have. My AT&T doohickey makes watching youTube a horror show, and I get kicked off line..... that shit really irks me.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: How do you surf the net? (6/14/2009 5:47:47 PM)
Levelicious!! I have some kind of dsl through Yahoo/ATT. It is fine most of the time, though sometimes it becomes achingly slow. It's so much better than dialup... I had a friend who had Hughesnet, but in her neighbourhood it went out constantly.

DarkSteven -> RE: How do you surf the net? (6/14/2009 5:51:32 PM)
Level, Hughes and WildBlue are perfect for rural people who can't get cable to their homes. It's pretty pricy. If you can go with DSL, go for it. I have a Qwest connection. It's basically that or Comcast where I live. I've heard good things about FiOS if you can get it.

windchymes -> RE: How do you surf the net? (6/14/2009 6:04:35 PM)
I love my Verizon Wireless Air card. It's about $60 a month, but worth every penny. I tried the Verizon DSL but it sucked, and their repair service was even worse. I would have ditched Verizon altogether, but since my cell phone contract is with them, it was the easiest way to go. Soooooooo good to see you back!!!!

BitaTruble -> RE: How do you surf the net? (6/14/2009 6:06:21 PM)
Yup.. we've been in Portugal for about 6 months now. So good to have you back!!
