All,
Finally, I am jumping onto the broad-band-wagon. I am currently with TPG
dialup
and am generally satisfied with their service quality.
After looking at the broadbandchoice website for some weeks now, I've
figured
that I'd ask the sluggers. What are your suggestions for a modest $50/month
commitment, minimum 512Kbps plan from an ISP that does not shy away from
Linux (slackware, fedora) ?
My typical useage will be: remote desktop to work
(will use windoze for this), general webbrowsing (news, wikipedia, cricket).
I also intend to download linux distros (for experimentation - in the
early days at least),
some internet radio etc etc ... with bandwidth to burn ... who know what
more I
might end up doing. (Any ISP that mirrors the distros and don't count
them in
ones download limits ?)
And one other question: to avoid having long wires running across the
length of the
house (phone's in one corner, my computer's in another), I was considering a
wireless router (?). What are the draw backs of this ? And also is it
likely to
interfere with a baby monitor ?
As always, any suggestions/recommendation/thoughts will be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
