Resolved Question: What should I do about my wireless internet being disrupted by my cordless phone?

My upstairs neighbors/good friends and I share an internet connection two-ways. They have the Modem (from PRIMUS), I have a 2.4GHz Broadband Router catching their signal in my living room. And my laptop has an external wireless card catching my living room router's signal...giving me THE FANTASTIC INTERNET! Today, I got cable telephony installed...right in my bedroom, next t my laptop. It's a simple cable phone line..no actual cable TV or cable internet. I just needed the phone. My cordless phone is a 2.4GHz cordless phone. Actually...there are two units. One of them is plugged right under my computer table...the other is a few feet away from my router in the living room. I heard that cordless phones can disrupt my wireless net signal cuz they both run on the same "wave" of 2.4GHz? Which kind of cordless phone would NOT disrupt my signal. Is the cable box also somehow gonna disrupt my internet? I doubt THAT...but I'm no technie. All suggestions welcome...Thank you my friends! more

Resolved Question: Thinking of AT&T High speed internet, anyone ever had it?

i hate Cricket and their false "3G Wireless Broadband". the crap is supposed to be fast, but why does it take an hour to download a 10MB file/song at only 4 kilobits a second? thats 50 kilobits slower than f***ing dial up!!! anyway, back to the question. i've been seeing these AT&T commericals all over the net, as well as TV saying you can get high speed internet (DSL i suppose) for only $20 a month, and no home phone required. i live an apartment, it was set up for home phone service when we moved here in 2003, the line jack in the dining room is ready, where this computer is. not sure about the bedrooms, but i wouldn't need the bedroom jacks anyway. now, my main asking here is, what all do i need? i have an ethernet card installed, several USB ports, Windows XP, a Pentium 4 processor at 1.3 GHz, 512MB RAM (its an old 2001 Compaq) i have several 4 pin phone lines, ethernet cables, a couple DSL modems from my collection (or will ATT supply one?). next, when i sign up for the service online, how long does it take for them to come out and hook up the phone lines at the phone pole outside the building, and does the setup/installation cost anything? also, if i decide to move, can i just have them move my service to my new residence? i've never done this before, never even had a land line phone, so any pointers/tips would be helpful, also, if you have this service, (AT&T), what do you think of it speed wise? thanks guys/gals more

Resolved Question: Who are the most competitive/ most rated companies to get broadband packages with, and maybe phone lines.?

there are so many companies i dont know where to start..Considering the sky TV bundle, but wondering if it might be better/cheaper to get a separate phone and internet bundle with someone else..Sky is mainly tv isnt it so how good is their broadband?!thanks wolsy...is 2mb enough? is that the speed? how much can i download?

Resolved Question: Why is my Broadband slow during peak times?

I am with Sky broadband, I contacted them about this issue and apparently have the best package available in the area. Peak times according to them are between 3pm and 11pm or along those lines.

I am not allowed to change my isp as we get sky broadband at a discounted rate alongside your phone and tv package. Many thanks, Matt.Also, I must state that in non peak times the connection is perfect and I could not ask for better. I believe I have a package with Sky called "Sky Connect". more

Resolved Question: What is the best broadband available?

I'm in the UK and 5 Mb is the best I can get. I have a contract with tesco so I can't change my phone line for 12 months. So what I want to know is what is the best value broadband (cheapest whilst best quality and reliability) that doesn't involve switching landlines, has an unlimited download usage, has 5+ mb speed and offers a free wireless modem. I also have sky TV but would consider switching for a better offer and I have got an old orange broadband pack (2mb with a modem like dial-up). more

Resolved Question: Can I get Sky Broadband on a cheaper line rental than BT?

Okay here's the deal. I want to get a 3 way sky bundle. TV, Broadband and Phone. If I get sky talk i save 5 pounds on my broadband. But Line rental with BT is 11.25 per month and I was wondering if there was a cheaper line rental i could use with Sky. Plus is Sky Broadband actually good? It seemed like a really good deal because they don't have a fair usage policy on their unlimited internet package. So yeah, is sky really my best bet?Plus i heard the speed of the broadband depends on your location. Im in Zone 2 in London. Island Gardens. its near Canary Wharf. more

Resolved Question: Connect a PS3 to the internet (wired or wirelessly) HELP!!?

Ok. Here's my problem WIRED CONNECTION My computer is in one room and my tv and Ps3 in another. I have that white box for the phone/tv/broadband in both rooms. I have bought a virgin media modem so i can use it in the room with the ps3, but i have to register the modem with virgin media before i can use it, I am guessing that it will cost money to register the modem because i am already using one for the computer. Do you know if it does or if it doesn't cost money??. Then, I found out on a website that you need a router to connect to the internet. if so, i have to buy a router which is gonna cost a lot of money.Is the router to connect the pc and the Ps3 to the internet at the same time from the same modem or do you need it anyway??.Please somebody help!! Pleeeeeese!!!!!!!!!!! WIRELESS CONNECTION If i choose a wireless connection, I have to buy a router AND a access point. Which is gonna cost a hell lot a money and i can't spend any more money because i have spent a lot on the ps3 and stuff. so, somebody please help me. What should i do ??? pleeeeeese help!!!!! Thanks!!Hello again. Thank you for all the answers. I just want to ask one more thing. So, Is this what i should do... get rid of the second modem. Buy a wireless router, connect the existing modem to the router, connect the router to the pc using an Ethernet cable and connect the router to the ps3 (which is about ten meters away from the router) wirelessly using the built -in Wi-Fi in the ps3. Problem Solved!!! Is this right?? I haven't done it yet. Just making sure, before i do something stupid. Pls answer........ Thanks!! more
