Tag Archives: high speed internet access

I love Dubai and all but…. Is it just me or does internet access really stink here?

Ok I can live with the censorship and gag rules and other sillyness. But one thing I cannot tolerate is bad internet. The past few days of my high speed internet access both at home and work have been worse than my old dialup. Etisalat, please take a fraction of your 1.5 billion Dirham profit in the first quarter of this year and reinvest into your system.

Dumb me through wireless internet access please?

Here’s the deal. I use dialup. My laptop is geared up for wireless (and has ethernet port, as far as that goes). I take the laptop when I travel. Most motels/hotels have “free high-speed internet access.” How do I use it??? Dumb me through it, in ***EASY***STEPS please, someone.

Here’s what happened last time. I got the usual “wireless networks detected” balloon, then I connected to the one that had the motel’s name. Then I started up a browser (actually I tried on several browsers, all with the same result). “No dial tone”. So I truly don’t know what I should be doing here!

Give me easy steps, like, where should I go and what should I click (especially and hopefully saving, not destroying, old settings, so I may restore them later?)
okaybsmith134 I saw that one and I also have Wireless for dummies but I don’t need to *set up* a network I just need to get online at a motel!
OOps I spoke too soon I have submitted the question to that forum!

Is there any advantage to Yahoo dialup vs. aol dialup?

High speed internet access without cable is not available in my area. I’m looking for something faster than aol dialup
