I have dial-up, but want wireless?

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??

Cable Internet at dialup speeds???

I have road runner, cable internet. I have a desktop computer and a laptop computer and a wireless router. For some reason, the other day, the Internet speed on the desktop dramatically decreased! I tried to download a 10MB test file and I was only getting about 6Kbps, while on the laptop I am getting 500Kbps on the same file, if not more. Both computers are connected to the wireless router, however the desktop is a wired connection. Everything has worked fine in the past, and this happened just at once. Any ideas?! I’ve ran spyware doctor and tcp optimizer with no results.

what is the minium requirment to run google earth?

I have got pentium d core 2.8 ghz processor with 512mb of ram and 200 gb of hard drive. and i know my graphics card is also preety much good with directx 9. But when I download that googlearth(free version) It runs without any errors but it shows up nothing. I can’t see anything in the map. when i run search it goes to the location but the image is all blank. Is that because I am using 56kb dialup internet? But i think the the internet speed only slows the programs down but I think the image should be alright. Can anyone help me what is wrong with that? I look up www.googlearth.com but didn’t got the right information.
my graphics card is S3g UniChrome pro IGP

When i fisrt got my router, my internet speed was awesome, now, 8 months later, its slow as dialup, whats up?

I really need help, anything to make it faster
