right i have a bit of a dilema being a game happy student used to a lovely 2mb connection.... im moving back to my parents house in about 5 days as the contract for this house is up and the new landlord wont let us move in for a bit. now they still have a .....56k dial up!!!! with BT and are paying something liek 10-15£ a month for the 24/7 thing where u get like 150 hours a month (i cant remember exact details) now ive been trying to convince them (mum is up for it but dad takes more persuading) to step up to broardband.....
problem though, we live down in the gower (for those who know where that is in south wales) and its basically a house in the middle of nowhere on a hill with the nearest neighbour a mile away
, we did try to get isdn about 6 years ago for my dads work but the line quality wasnt good enough and just kept dropping the conn. now they say that we can get broardband now.
so should we get them to send out and engineer to our house and say, we would like to get broard band with you but we want to see if we can actually get decent speeds first?
if we cant get BB down at our house another alternative iove been thinking of is this wireless BB from "3" and other companies for liek £10 a month.... now what speeds is this and what restrictions are there? any good for gaming? and i suppose would have to check we get signal in the house first
any input about these topics would be greatly appreciated (as i dont even have a modem in my pc!!!
