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

Qwest high speed compared too comcast.

I have comcast internet service right now. It really is starting to suck. I don’t know if it is my computer or the internet but I swear it moves like a computer. I got high speed for exactly that HIGH SPEED! I feel like I might as well go get dial up.
Is qwest high speed just as good? I know it is cheaper so I was thinking of switching over so that I can save on money too. I figure can’t get worse than this. Anyone have the experience with both let me know????!!!
woops I meant to say…..It moves like a turtle!

What is the deal with my internet?

Posted on September 29, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

I keep losing connection about every three minutes. and then it will reconnect right after which takes about a minute or two. what could be the deal. I have charter high speed internet. I have no virus’ I have performed all sorts of maintenance…and it seems a little better. last night I couldnt get a connection at all. the maintenance may not have done a thing but I was willing to try everything. any suggestions. I did call my ISP and there are no problems in my area. just wanted some help troubleshooting before I scheduled someone to come out
I am not wireless. and I have unplugged my modem, that is one of the ways I can get it to work 3 mins at a time. I guess I will have to get charter out here, which means taking an ENTIRE day off work, which I was hoping to avoid. they will probably tell me to get a new modem and charge me 25 bucks just to tell me that.
