Hi. I have dial-up service, because companies are too cheap to allow a cable to run down my road. A Verzion worker recently told my father that we could get a wireless card for the internet. Is that true?? We have a desktop and a couple laptops and desperately want a faster internet speed other than slow 31.2 kbps. So my question…can we get a wireless card to get wireless service??

My sister visits my parents every couple months and wants Internet access at the house, but it has to be high-speed (at least basic DSL). Is there a really cheap decent quality DSL ISP, or an as-needed DSL-type account? (sort of like dial-up, so you get say twenty hours of DSL for ten bucks a month?) I thought NetZero had the answer with their 12.95/month 768k/DSL, but the price goes up to 22.95 after three months. Thanks

My club is too cheap to get DSL and is using dial up and just got a computer running Vista. There are a couple of user at the club who need to be able just to run a program that does a file transfer. The problem is that I haven’t been able to get the dial up connection to fire with anything besides Firefox or IE. How do I make Vista do the dialup when I run one of the file transfer programs. I’ve tried ping, nslookup, etc. I suppose that I could make it dial by running IE and putting in a delay, but that is QUITE inelegant. Can you do better?
I actually have the “dial when a connection is needed” option already set. It often dials for IE, but not always and rarely, if ever, dials for SFTP or for any of the other file transfer programs. This is something that is specific to Vista (and rather annoying at that).
I had a couple questions about downloading speeds.
A.) if a file takes 60 minutes to download on a 56 k dialup connection, how long would it take to download the same exact file if my internet connection was now 10 times faster?
B.) If a file takes 30 minutes to download on a 56K dialup connection, how long would it take to download the same exact file if my internet connection was 10 times faster (560 kbps)?
if a file takes 1 hour to download on 56k how long would it take to download if its saved 10 times faster?
I have the first Guild wars(note I have dialup). I did a couple of quest and have chosen my second profession. i then talked to the guy and went on the mission to kill the warlord. I killed him and then saw Ascalon get blown all to hell. Well im at the loading screen and now its old Ascalon(Different pic on loading screen.). My net got disconnected and now its Ascalon again(Same different pic). I guess what im asking is…are all my quest opporunities gone? Are there still merchants and stuff there? Will Ascalon ever look the same as it did before it got blown all to hell? Or do i need to create a diff character, Delete my old one and do the whole thing over until i have nothing else to do then leave?
What should i do?
