Having internet/router trouble?

I just bought a new laptop and had to get a router of course, but my problem is that my desktop was working fine with by dsl/cable setup, but it seems that when I got the laptop and bought the router and had it configured for my desktop and laptop, now sometimes I cannot get an internet connection. I try to troubleshoot by making sure my connections are on, and I get a message on my laptop stating a local connection is unplugged. I don’t get that, I don’t see anything unplugged where my router is and my desktop. I even disconnected my router and plugged it up again. Could it be that my downstairs landlords who do not have cable or dsl, but an ancient dial-up computer, and the wife has a laptop, with a router I am assuming, could be interfering with my wireless connection??? I am so frustrated because I love my new laptop and this is getting ridiculous!!

which is better cable or dsl for internet service? dsl is so much cheaper but is it worth it?

Which is an internet service provider that can meet my needs?

I just got verizon wireless from broadband, using a USB card about a week ago. It’s 60 dollars a month, but the first month is just a test-drive before you get knee-deep in a contract, although it’s still paid (unfortunately.) I never intended on keeping the service, as it is much too expensive- I used to pay 80 a month for an internet, cable, and phone bundle. Anyhow my problem is this, the plan I have is limited to 5 GB monthly, and being somewhat computer illiterate, I thought this was a lot. To my surprise, after having the service for only one week, we have almost used 4GB. I used to have chater cable internet and never remember having to worry about how many GB were used. I need unlimited access to the internet as I work online and use it for online schooling. I can’t get charter, as it is not available in Richmond VA. I do not care whether I have cable or dsl, the only thing I don’t want is dial-up. Someone please help! Before I run out of Giga!

How much faster is T1 compared to Cable or DSL?

I need a CREDIBLE source for this. It doesn’t have to be exact, an approximate figure will do. I need to be able to describe the comparison to a non-techie and I need a citable source.

(I myself am quite computer literate, so you don’t have to “dumb it down” to answer the question for me. I just have to describe it to someone that thinks AOL Dialup is a satisfactory internet service).

anybody have satellite internet serv. from HughsNet.com?wondering how it performs compared w/cable or dsl.?

dialup only available in my area
