1) buy wireless router http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833162035

2) http://www.gis.net/

check out these guys. independent ISP that probably is a verizon reseller. based in newton. i can't vouch for them but they seem legit, $25/mo for residential DSL. give em a call.

Get raped by comcast, because odds are that's the only service available in your area. Cheaper to have the most basic cable TV package with internet than internet alone, because they figure you might want to expand to a better TV package down the road.

3) avoid getting raped by comcast!!

I dont have cable/TV even. I download everything I watch...

comcast for me for just cable TV and internet is $159/mo. Carina gets ever single channel and phone for only $179/mo

My plan is to get rid of cable. I just need to figure out way to still watch the science channel, nat geo, and the daily show.

For some reason RCN covers all of Allston except my street. Bullshit.



toggletoggle post by arktouros at Feb 27,2012 9:47am
yeah, try RCN too... and fuck cable, just try to find a good independent ISP.

RCN used to be the fastest. Spaldino had it and I was jelly.

I get 15Mbit with comcast, and pay 50something a month. Between me and my roommates, we have Hulu+, Netflix, and my media server. No need for cable TV, but I don't think DSL would be sufficient for the bandwidth we consume.

Just internet? With Comcast Triple Play you can get internet, cable with On Demand, and your home phone for one monthly price that goes up every single month with unnamed fees! Representatives from Comcast will be filling your mailbox with pamphlets, flyers, and letters about this exciting service every day for the rest of your life no matter what.

RCN nigga. 30 bux a month



toggletoggle post by AndrewBastard  at Feb 27,2012 12:49pm
is that DSL, Mike?

Do I have to pay for a million other fees? Buy a modem, etc.?

telepathy or false.

RCN is cable



toggletoggle post by Cher at Feb 27,2012 2:22pm
I have RCN and you dont neex cable, they give you a modem and have to install it, after that its 30 bux a month just for internet. It is not dsl.

Unfortunately I work at Comcast.

Basic TV and "blast" internet is $45/mo. "Blast" internet is cheaper with basic TV than without for some reason.

RCN was $45 /mo when I just got a quote on their webstie

webstie, is that your cute nickname for websites?

that's precious

out here I got Comcast internet only, 15MBPS down and 5 up, 30$ for 6 months, then 42$ for the next 6 months, then it's i think it's 55$

buy your own modem, renting theirs is a total rip off.

WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT GET CLEAR INTERNET.

IT IS THE WORST INTERNET SERVICE EVER.
