run Posted January 2, 2007 CID Share Posted January 2, 2007 after i put some thought into it, 8500$ for cable just isnt worth it, because in 3 years ill be going to college and ill need a laptop + desktop + books + stuff of that matter, and that money would cover a large portion of whatever i need. plus FiOS will be in many places in 3 years i hope ^^ also i need a car in 1 year which is nearly double all that.... i am wrong about the cellphone internet , i can get that hear ... its 25$ a month for unlimited data which isnt bad ;/ i have few questions... would it be atleast 128kbps download or upload? is the latency good? im actually not interested in gg download/upload[ well it helps but just anything above 128kbps is great] i just need low latency for games i only need this if i can keep a CONSISTANT 400 or bellow ping ;D what will i need to hook up my phone to my computer? i know not all phones can do this, but would a phone with a data cable be best? or would blue tooth or rf be better? i plan to buy a phone that is under 600$ because i want it to double as internet whenever im not home[ so i want a full qwerty keybord] because the 25$ = unlimited data, and unlimited text message ;p so could someone help me pick out a good phone that would beable to connect to my computer so my computer could get internet thanks...

tommie gorman Posted January 2, 2007 CID Share Posted January 2, 2007 Now you are thinking a lot straighter. OK, one more time. What is your service right now? And what was the other option beside 12 meg cable? That we had discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run Posted January 3, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 now cyberonic says i might beable to get like a 7xx/1xx DSL for 70$ a month for where we live, it would be a 200$ installation fee _IF_ thhey could make it work, if it doesnt work out here it we dont have to pay anything... so i suppose it is worth a shot, if it doesnt work out here, we dont pay a dime, if it does we pay 20$ for a router[which ill just buy my own] and 200$ installation fee.... worth a try cuz i know i can atleast get 3xx up and atlast XX upload[above 60kbps i home ] EDIT: removed huge blank space :Dlewis23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted January 5, 2007 CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 Wow run, big difference from 12m cable. So that would be the DSL speeds? And $70 a month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
