anox195 Posted February 18, 2006 Author CID Share Posted February 18, 2006 probably price, i don't know how they compare to Comcast ($$$$$) but i think they are pretty expensive EXACTLY, 54$ a month just for HSI, but they are right on cap.

richcornucopia Posted February 18, 2006 CID Share Posted February 18, 2006 Try to tweak it, but remember you are going to lose some of your speed when you go wireless vs wired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
