derek22x Posted February 17, 2008 CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi Guys, I am going back to Burbank next month and I was thinking of getting my own connection (My dad use a lot of bandwidth and I want something I can call my own hehe). Any advice on which ISP to get? We've been using AT&T since 2004 and I am not really satisfied with their service. Cox is not available in our area. And I will never go with AOL and Earthlink . Do you think Verizon is a good choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted February 17, 2008 CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 If you can get Verizon FIOS thats the way to go. http://www22.verizon.com/content/ConsumerFios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek22x Posted February 17, 2008 Author CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 The plans are pretty cheap. I just can't check if it's available in my area online right now, I am in the Philippines using Smart Bro sheez! Well, I guess I'll go with it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's available in my area I wonder if dad will pay for it LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted February 17, 2008 CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 You can actually get a 15/15 and a 20/20. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted February 17, 2008 CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 You can also get 50/20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek22x Posted February 17, 2008 Author CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 Woah...I am getting excited LOL. How long does it take for the service to commence after confirmation that the area is serviceable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted February 17, 2008 CID Share Posted February 17, 2008 If it is in your area and able to be ordered you could have installed in less than a week depending on how busy they are but it about 2 weeks for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking at the Lenovo Think pads and was wondering how you like the one you have? It's pretty awesome. First, it's so lightweight and slim. Second, it really lives up to its brand Third, very good heat management. I usually don't turn it off for like 1 week or so but the processor stays cool. Overall performance, 9/10.
