Dialup Internet Access

Posts Tagged ‘cell’

My plan is voice, not data. Wanted to know if I could use my laptop and Razr cell to connect to a dial up internet company with only a voice plan. I don’t want to pay for a data plan. If it’s possible I realize the speed would be slow, also would my carrier know I’m using it to connect to dial-up internet?

I am using my cell phone as a dial up modem. As I move around my house, my laptop loses reception from my wireless router, so I connect to the internet with my cell phone as a modem. However, when both are connected, I have to disconnect my dial up connection because when both wi-fi and dial up connected, the internet is only as fast as the dial up.

I live approx. 3 miles from the “edge”…to me, if cell phones work “everywhere” why can’t an aircard do the same? I cannot download music, watch videos, or even news clips because I am “on the edge”. This does not make sence to me. Basically, I pay 3 times, than most people, for a service that is no better than dialup. Please help me understand. OR better yet, tell me what I need to do to correct this. FYI, I have a brand new Toshiba laptop, with the Vista program.

I want to dump my phone line (use cell phones) then get the cheapest internet connetion faster than dialup. What are my options.. Thanks!! Does DSL also mean you need to have a home phoneline as well?

I currently have dialup. Because of my cell phone, I only am using my home phone line to get online. I pay $40 a month for the phone line and $20 a month for dialup Internet so I think I might be able to save money if I go another route. Do I need a phone line for Fiber? Also, would I need my phone line to get cable Internet?

Thanks!
Also, I do have Fiber available at my home.
