What is needed to insure Hi-speed Internet ?
82204
Hi speed internet is mostly dependent on the internet connection itself but a speedy computer does not hurt. Hi speed access comes in many forms. DSL requires that you have phone service available and how well or if it work at all is dependent on the amount of cable feet you are from the central office of the telephone company. Cable access overcomes many of the distance issues but as stated above some companies require you get their cable tv service as well (comcast did not). But some cable services just plain suck, such as adelphia in yuma arizona. Other possibilities that you can consider are microwave type internet connection, A T1 or fractional T1 supplied by your telephone company to your isp provider, Cellular broadband (only works well in major metro areas), or a Satellite dish based service. These can all become quite pricey.

Midwest Speed Tiers changed from 384 Kbps - 768 Kbps to 384 Kbps - 1.5 Mbps, and from 1.5 Mbps - 3 Mbps to 1.5 Mbps - 6 Mbps. Any Members with the original Speed Packages of 384 Kbps - 768 Kbps or 1.5 Mbps - 4 Mbps in the Midwest.\n\nThe following products were added to all regions.\n\nStatic IP Low Speed (up to 384 Kbps) \nDynamic IP High Speed (1.5 Mbps - 6.0 Mbps) \nOn March 25, 2004, SBC began offering the 1.5 Mbps - 3 Mbps Expert product for both Consumer and Business and discontinued offering the 1.5 Mbps - 6 Mbps Speed Tiers Product in all regions except in the Northeast.\n\nOn April 26, 2006, SBC began offering the Speed Tiers Elite product in all regions.

This offering allows SBC to compete with cable TV companies and to match products that are being offered with FTTX (Fiber to the Home) speeds.\n\nOnce you order for SBC (actually AT&T now) DSL, you would be provided with the equipments that you would be needing for your DSL Internet connection (such as the dsl modem, filters, data and ethernet cables) so you won't be needing to buy them. But if you are planning to connect several computers to the internet the you would need to buy a router for that or you can also tell the agent that you would be needing the 2wire modem/router (also capable of wireless connection) because you would be setting up several computers. I'm not sure if you're gonna be charged for this kind of modem/router though.\n\nI would have been able to provide how much their service meight cost for you if you only provided what city and state you are in. But for pricing and billing inquiries,I suggest you call this number 1 888 792 3751, this is their number for orders and 1 866 722 9246 for their sale department.\n\nOr you can also visit the following websites:\nwww.sbcpromotions.com \nwww.sbcsignup.com \ndsl.yahoo.com

Take note of it from any connection to your machine. Trace route it (trcroute) or some other more useful tools which im not gonna say. Best approach is take a guess from the route info on the geographical location (very often the ip names of switches etc show city name codes) follow that down to a 50 miles radius max for a worst case, (microwave links, hardlines etc can make isp kit cover more land than youd think, especially behind proxies) or sometimes a few city blocks with dense usage. No isps i ever heard of distribute maps of hardware at street level, so some detective work is involved so you can use your smarts if you have other clues (example a photo with landmarks) and narrow it right down. Way down. And i mean google earth a pic of the top of their house down. =) The internet is by no means anonymous whatsoever.

Have you checked to see if broadband is available in your area? You can test it using the prequal link below.\n\nOtherwise you could install ISDN, however it usually only gives a marginal increase in speed, even if you pay the extra amount to order the two extra lines.

Theoretically it should be 1000mbps ... but this is usually never the case if you're lucky and everything is working fine you should achieve approx 3/4 of the actual rated speed

For DSL, yes you do. If you are getting another type of high speed connection like a cable broadband, the answer is no.  You wouldn't have to have a phone line to get cable high speed access.  The Cable company would most likely require you to have a phone number for billing purposes.  But I've known some people that use a cell number.  You also wouldn't have to have one if you were in a rural area and they offered BPL or Broadband Over PowerLines.\n\nIf you have the option for Cable I would recommend that first.\n\n  Check the sources below for more info.

DSL should do the trick

I believe Clinton/Gore wanted to make the Internet available to all Americans.  I doubt that getting everyone connected to the Internet is a priority for the Bush Administration.  You see, if you keep people dumb by restricting their access to information, then they'll be easier to control.  \n\nAs for a high speed Internet connection, I have a preference for a cable high speed connection.  I pay $35 a month for it.  I have a few friends that have had trouble with DSL.  I think Netzero offers a connection 5 times faster than dial up for $9.95 a month.

Linux, Unix, Windows, most all modern ones. Just have to be able to route IP and use NAT. DHCP, and firewalling also help, but not required.

And that is $12.99 a month for a year!\n\nLearn more: http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?cdvn=localize&pid=1080&prod-snip=res_express_dynamic_term\n\nOrder Now: http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?pid=1080&cdvn=localize&prod-snip=dsl_res_order \n\nFor five more bucks, you can get the Pro package which has all the benefits and features of Express except you get download speeds up to 3.0 Mbps!
