Are you currently paying for broadband internet
service?� Road Runner or DSL?� Have you kicked the idea
around of getting a broadband connection, but figured it was too much trouble or
too expensive?� Some of the tech geeks in the neighborhood have been
kicking around the idea of providing wireless,
broadband internet access to the whole neighborhood.� The
technology to accomplish this has dropped drastically in price over the last
year or so.� The installation would require you to put a wireless card in
your computer, and that's pretty much it.� The service would be secure and
extreme fast.� Faster than cable or dsl.�
Anyone interested in this?� Just trying to get a feel if the neighborhood
would be interested in looking at this.� Matt

(User Info) | | Count us in Matt, we are currently doing some research on Roadrunner and DSL because our contract is almost up on our dial-up connection, thank goodness. Just keep us informed on the progress so that we know what is going on before we enter into another contract. |

(User Info) | Matt,
This sounds like a fantastice idea. We are paying over $50 a month for DSL and internet connections. Can we maybe meet, the people who are interested, and learn some more information? I would love to do this, especially if it meant saving $$$!! Thanks, Matt!

(User Info) | Yep, we are talking about a full T1 or a fractional at the least. I don't want to get into hard numbers yet. Don't want to lauch a huge tech debate...but....on average....this doesn't go for all cable modems.....so don't flame me...a cable modem is usually locked down to 300-400 kps. That means that in a perfect world, when you click on a file to download, you should see the "little number" (as my mom calls it) get to around 300-400 kps (Download speed, 300-400 Kilobyes per second).
A T1 moves data at 1.5 Mps. (1.5 Megabytes per second). !Muy Rapido! Also, with just the neighborhood, say 250 con-current connections, it should't get too busy. Hell, we would have bandwidth for days! |
