I am a newcomer to cable, high speed internet, and hd tv. What services would you recommend?

Posted on October 4, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I currently use dial up which is a free service provided by my school which I would like to upgrade b/c of the slow downloads. I also currently do NOT have any cable service provider, I watch the basic channels via a digital converter box on my old 19 inch tv.
I am currently in the market to upgrade my tv to a flat screen LCD 1080p, 120-240hz, I also am in the market for a bundling cable or satellite, high speed internet service. Problem is I know absolutely nothing about them, I currently live in the Chicago area and have At&t for home phone service, which I hardly ever use btw and would consider getting rid of. I have contacted RCN, WOW, and At&t (originally for the uverse but it is not available in my area so I was offerred the Direct Tv service)

Any suggestions? No rush either. I want to be able to work faster on the computer, (I’m not a big gamer but I would like to be able to watch You tube, I download music from itunes and videos) I would like to be able to surf the net faster, I would also like to be able to watch tv without losing signals which happens a lot with the converter box. I am okay with basic channels, however have a few I would like such as tbs, oxygen, lifetime, etc. I don’t watch a lot of tv, the 2,5,7,9,11,26, 32, and 50 usually suit me okay.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Can I fix my slow internet connection?

Posted on October 4, 2011 by admin| 5 Comments

Can I fix this problem? I have a rebuilt Intel (R) Celeron (R) CPU at 3.20GHz with 1.96GB of RAM. My internet connection is not dial up but goes through the phone line to a cable underground outside and is extremely slow. With videos or music I get a slow skip that makes it impossible to view or listen to anything. The guy who re-built it said it should run very fast. My OS is Windows XP and I have Norton Antivirus using AT&T service. Any advice appreciated. Can I fix this problem? Thanks so much! :)
Thanks to everyone. I can’t believe how much help you all gave. You”re awesome! :)

Looking for top rated ISP provider Ft Lauderdale FL?

Posted on October 3, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

Hello, I need to change my ISP provider from Comcast to someone new. I need to have a bundled service for a landline home phone and the internet. Money is tight right now but I need a good ISP service. Fast dial-up, or broadband, and excellent customer tech support. They need to also be flexible with billing ex: (if you are a little late with your bill they will not automatically shut you off.) A little grace period. Also any websites that do comparisons. Second question can I keep my old email address, that I use to look for jobs, subscriptions, I am all over the place. Any suggestions appreciated. Anyone want to share their experiences with their current provider good, bad, ugly. Thanks
