smooth wall is the ONLY way to go, brando!!! Its so.... Smooth! I'm sure you're famailiar with the system... I love being able to check back through my logs and see who's been trying to use a backdoor to get through. Its great! The best part is it's smart enough to leave you alone and let you do what YOU want, and not block stuff like kazaa and messenger and what-not.

I have Charter, and am pretty happy with it. 768K, I check it once in a while with one of those online bandwidth test things, and it's usually around 780K, sometimes into 800. I don't know if my service actually runs slightly faster than it's supposed to, or if it's just someting wierd going on. It's only been down once or twice in the last year or so. I know it's far from the fastest service you can have, but it's plenty fast for me.... any faster and my POS computer probably wouldn't be able to keep up anyway!

Well we have always had tearble luck with cable in our area, dont know why. At our old house we had a bad signal and they kept saying it was our tv, and it was not. Well we ended up getting dish network. But when we moved 5 years ago to our new house, my dad was on the roof getting the dish down and realised that our cable line was cut and exposed to the elements. This is what caused our bad signal and they said it was our tv. So first off their idiots. We had the same problem with our cable modem when we first got it. We kept loosing signal completley. They came over and sid it was my comptuer. This got me MAD!! They finally realised, after a month of no internet.....that it was our line to our house. After they fixed it, it worked fine, except for the down time ALL THE TIME Anyways our cable sux round here LOL

spying on us now huh? guess you can see that I'm not at home right now? I'm at school.... connected through the wireless LAN. it's pretty cool, works just about everywhere on campus.
I saw some tv show a while back that had a guy driving around in a city with a laptop on his passanger seat and he would drive up outside office buildings and connect to their wireless network if they had one, just showing how easy it is to do, and how wireless networks can leave you open for attack.

hey 73delta, that was my plan! I wanted to do that with my car computer... All I needed to buy was a wireless card for the card slot... Never got around to it. One of these days

just use encrypted communication... It takes your signal and scrambles it up so no one without the encryption key will be able to find your data useful.
It does slow down your transfer rate slightly, but I think that the added security and peace of mind is worth it. Its not hard to implement.

Our cable company just changed their internet stuff, we had 768K, which was the middle of the road option, but they got rid of that, and you have to choose between two speeds... three hundred and something K, or 3 mbps for a few dollars more.... so we got the 3 mbps one, they say it's faster than DSL... what speed does DSL usually run at? or are there different levels like cable?
