Advantages:\n-----------\n- cheap phone calls\n- can be done from any country in the world\n\nDisadvantages:\n--------------\ndepends on internet access, so if the internet access is dial-up, you will never get the desired sound queality...\n\nalso, if you subscribe with a company that sends you a hand set to make your calls from, it depends on teh internet, so, if you ar ea heavy downloader, I think the sound quality won't be of a satisfactory level as the majority of hte bandwidth is already occupied in another task...

I use paid service for security.  You can have wireless service anywhere I suppose but you cannot log in wired at home with a wired computer.  Any one can "sniff" what you are doing.  Even with your encryption and the website's encrpyption, it would be wiser to have a wired connection.  Though, it would a take very skilled person with advanced equipment to do it.

You can use a router and hook up the internet through the router both will have internet and you can acess files on either one.

Get DSL or Cable modem service, whichever is in your area.  Or get two phone lines if you HAVE to use a dial-up modem (you have my sympathy if that's the case).\n\nOr even more simply, get a cell phone and dedicate your phone line at home to the internet connection.

Advantages -- it can be private, so you avoid the Internet \ntrolls.\n\nDisadvantages -- it's easier to waste time because it's more friendly; you get used to those horrid abbreviations ("u r" instead of "you are") and they become part of your regular online chatter.

1) Convience (Don't leave home or work)\n2) Better photos and descriptions of items.\n     You can see all of the available items \n3) Have your purchase delivered to your home or work\n4) I like to buy things on line because I can research the products that are out there easier, and there is no pressure to buy now!  I find that it is best to deal with companies that have a physical site because they are easier to work with if there is a problem.

Wireless Internet can be Very good, but it does (like everything to do with a computer it seems) have it's quirks and things you have to do to set it all up and then there's the Range, and walls, the privacy issues etc etc, but in time you can get that all worked out. You mentioned that you have "online gamers" you'll have to be sharing your band width with them which will slow down your other computers as well. However If you have a laptop and want to be able to move from room to room, or if you want to network all of your computers so you can share files then you should consider it now that you have an idea of the pros and cons. Hope that helps :)

It would do you no good cause you would still be limited by your speed and downloading from your college to home would still be a problem. You can remote access using any decent webclient(there are lots of them and most are free, try google) but like I said it wouldnt be of any use unless you use the college computers for most of your work and stay there!

Get DSL it is just as fast and it uses a phone line, and plus no one has to come to your house to hook it up.  It also costs less than cable internet.

Benefits are numerous. Computers enable us to make life easy by increasing the efficiency of offices, schools and persons. Science and Arts can make great progress with the help of computers. And we enjoy the fruits of them. Instant communication bridges the gap between people - relatives, friends and enemies, as well as researchers and thinkers.\n\nHowever, computers are not without their drawbacks. They can create an illusion of the world which may be different from reality. Many become so dependent on computers that they feel helpless without. Also, you can get ache, cramps, blood clots and impaired vision from excessive use of computer. Without going outdoors or using cars, together with physical inactivity can even kill a person. Because these can beget diabetes or other serious ailments.\n\nMan will certainly overcome these bad effects and derive much benefits from use of computers, in days to come.

i had to do this myself. if you have windows xp home edition: go under contol panel, then internet options and there will be different taps for security, connections, privacy, content, general, advanced. and you can navigate yourself threw that from there. its pretty self-explanatory and easy.

It may cause less problems if you are static, but if you are using a laptop you won't be as free as you think.  I would let the ISP pick the IP that you get...Dynamic.

If you buy locally, you can go in person to complain or compliment the seller.  That's a huge advantage.\n\nOn the other hand, the disadvantage is that it may cost more or you may not be able to get the exact items you want due to limited selection.

It really depends on your needs.\n\nA wired network is logically more secure, and also, if set up and wired correctly, less susceptible to interference, making it more stable. A wired network usually offers more bandwidth than a wireless network, the present day standard for wired networks being just under twice the bandwidth of wireless networks, though wired as well as wireless networks can have both higher or lower bandwidth available depending on standard.\n\nIf you move around a lot, and don't like cables lying around, wireless is the obvious choice. For regular home use, browsing the internet and transfering a few files between computers now and then, wireless will do you just fine.\n\nFor home use, it's really personal preference. If you know whether you prefer security and stability or flexibility and tidiness, you have your answer.
