Which is an internet service provider that can meet my needs?

I just got verizon wireless from broadband, using a USB card about a week ago. It’s 60 dollars a month, but the first month is just a test-drive before you get knee-deep in a contract, although it’s still paid (unfortunately.) I never intended on keeping the service, as it is much too expensive- I used to pay 80 a month for an internet, cable, and phone bundle. Anyhow my problem is this, the plan I have is limited to 5 GB monthly, and being somewhat computer illiterate, I thought this was a lot. To my surprise, after having the service for only one week, we have almost used 4GB. I used to have chater cable internet and never remember having to worry about how many GB were used. I need unlimited access to the internet as I work online and use it for online schooling. I can’t get charter, as it is not available in Richmond VA. I do not care whether I have cable or dsl, the only thing I don’t want is dial-up. Someone please help! Before I run out of Giga!

Losing connection of Wireless Internet I need help!!!!!!!!!!!! PLZ?

Hi I have a wireless internet card TRENDnet TEW-423PI and I am getting tired of doing a clean install every week and I really mean every single week since january and I am getting sick of it. The reason why is because the connection is good after the clean install then on the 6th or 7th day the ping in Call of Duty and Using the internet is high. I mean high as dialup. Thats bad for wireless high speed. So does anyone have any tips for keeping the good connection without it messing up everyweek. Thanks!!!!!!! I need a answer ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!

Dell PC problems…?

A friend has a 3 week old Dell PC w/problems:

1) Keeps on disconnecting with AOL dialup
2) Trouble loading certain web pages
3) Trouble downloading pix from the internet
4) crashing intermittently with weird error msgs.

His “old “computer was about 7 yrs old (ibm), had viruses, a mess.

I don’t know if he transferred infected files, however, we called Tech Support (in India) and they suggested we troubleshoot with AOL first. We are not Techno saavy. Wer’e over age 50! Thanks if anyone has help.

Whats the best way to connect my laptop to the internet?

I travel with my job typically taking contracted assignments for a 13 week stretch. When the contracts over, I move to a new location. I have considered pc cell data cards, but have heard that they dont work well and customer service is really bad besides being ridiculously expensive. Should I depend on wifi and dialup with a cheap service like peoplepc? Should I subscribe to Boingo, wayport, or ? and what are the advantages to this?

can you download java with dialup? i keep getting an error!!?

i got on a chat line last week and the chat screen automatically downloaded, after that day, i couldn’t get on. while i was chatting on the bottom left of my screen i saw the java icon, where it’s gone i don’t know. so, know ing it’s java, i went to java.com, with dial up it took over 40 minutes, then an error came up. what am i doing wrong? is it because of having norton security? norton doesn’t think it’s safe? i’ve gotten some pointers with the previous questions and have printed them out. i have no problem downloading, i’ve got yahoo messenger and other stuff downloaded, just stumped with this. thanks for any help you can give me.
