cheap high speed internet price?

Posted on September 15, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

if I’m trying to get a cheap internet price, what is the best? I’ve heard yahoo dsl and verizon dsl are cheap, but doesnt that involve buying a phone line as well? and if i just moved to a small town, how do i know that these dsl offers will work for my area if i dont have a phone line yet to check, i dont want to buy a phone line then realize internet doesnt work in my area anyways. other internet like comcast or local companies are about 20 something a month, but 50 just for intallation and i’m only going to be here for 4 months so it doesnt seem worth it..any advice

Why can’t I download anything over 500k anymore?

Posted on July 20, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I’m having problems with my email recently–both Yahoo & Excite. For roughly a month now, I can’t download anything larger than 500k…smaller files download fine…using basic dial-up service. I can’t forward to my other email accounts successfully either. As an experiment, I went to the local library and used their high-speed connection and things worked fine. Therefore, I believe the problem lies in the dial-up speed. Why is this suddenly an issue? Is it Explorer, Microsoft or something else??

I can view the thumbnail & see a file size for the attachment (say 1.0MB), I can click on the ‘download & save’ option. The system spins forever and I finally get the option to view or save. Either way, I get a blank window (no image) that pops up. The file saved to the hard drive is 0k. What the bleep is going on?!?

I’ve disabled firewalls, allowed html, etc. and nothing I’ve tried at home is working. Someone help PLEASE! Changing to a high-speed connection is NOT an option.

Thanks!

How do you effectively change ISP’s?

Posted on July 18, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I recently purchased a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion a1230n. I used the AOL free offer that came with it and the Norton software as well. I then switched to Verizon/Yahoo when I changed from a dial-up to broadband DSL. In order to prevent any conflicts, I disabled the Norton software and activated the software that comes with Verizon. Since then, I have added a Logitech webcam and cannot send a video that I recorded no matter how I try to send it. I understand that it is small enough to send and I have worked extensively with Verizon to no avail. Can anyone help me?

Do you ever get a question delayed…?

or one that never shows up at all? I just had one that took 6 minutes to show up after I asked it. Is the Yahoo server running on dial-up today?
