What Company allows you to have high speed internet, Phone and cable TV service?

my dad is finally letting us upgrade from dialup (eww dial up)

My dad is stuck with dialup, I am researching acceleraters and modem booster programs?

Does anyone have any suggestions?
he can’t get broadband where he’s at, except high speed dialup which he is switching too, and satilite which cost $200 to or more to install and very expensive subscriptions

Need help…Added ram, computer is almost not working, what happened?

Basically, I gave it to my dad to give to my uncle. My dad dropped it in a mud puddle. They dried it off, aired it out, then installed it. Now, the second hard drive isnt registering, its running in safe mode, its only registering 128mb ram, the DSL is running at slower then dialup speeds, no help or error logs are working, took forever to load anything, the drives show nothing but a couple things on there, (Basically his business and all the documents are gone.) So, what does he do? Is it the ram because it got wet and hurt things? Or, is something they did when they put the ram in?

Can I transfer Windows XP SP2 from one computer to another?

Hey, I hope somebody can help me out. I just replaced my dad’s hard drive in his computer and reinstalled Windows XP using the manufacter’s recovery discs. Unfortunately, they did not include a copy of SP2 with the discs. We have dialup, so downloading SP2 is pretty much not an option. I have a laptop that has Windows XP SP2 installed on it. Is there any way I can copy the necessary files over on CD/USB storage/networking instead of downloading or purchasing a copy? I doubt that I saved the big installation file on my laptop (I downloaded it when I was at college), but I need to check that out. I do not know anybody in this area who has a non-dialup connection, so that is not an option. I’ll buy it if necessary from Microsoft, but I’d rather have it as soon as possible. Thanks for your help!
