After three months in my house I've yet to purchase wireless. I thought I would get your opinions on where to go for that service.
In the Portland Mercury I saw a Comcast ad that offered wireless and a mobile broadband card for $49.99 a month, but I've never seen anything like that here. What do you guys use? Thoughts?
And they've been great, absolutely no problems- until recently where I think they aren't allowing the viewing of certain youtube videos due to the amount of bandwidth they take up- (or something like that- and yes, I've updated my flash)
Obviously beware of any specials providers are running- they can double the price after the special terms are up. Be sure to ask questions about length of terms.
I'm talking about wireless via a router, but I want mobile broadband too, and I want it for $49.99 like they were offering in Portland. If Comcast will give it to me for a deal, I'll take it, but I'd rather use an alternative.
I looked into this a bit some time back [ Wed Oct 21 2009 11:43 AM ]
In my case Qwest DSL is the best compromise of price/bandwidth and I bought a cheap D-link draft-n wireless router. OTOH I do also lot of web browsing over the GSM/GPRS network. While it's only slightly more expensive it's quite a bit more slow and at the same time I'm limited to about 5GB data transfer/month. It's really hard to look a 5GB worth of web pages in a month so I've never hit that limit and I don't use my phone as a carrier modem for either of my other more capable machines that do consume shit tons of data on the regular.
That said, there are other alternatives from swcp or roadrunner but they are either really expensive or require you to already have a landline.
