Do you mean two computers connected to Earthlink or one computer
connected to Comcast and one to Earhtlink? It's pretty easy and
relatively free to connect two computers to Comcast, even using a mix
of wired and wireless.
Happy 4th,

I've been on Earthlink WiFi for a couple of months now. The signal is
inconsistent and the signal strength is never above 4 bars. It's not
as fast as DSL or cable. I can connect to any of the three access
points on my list and they all seem to work equally well.
There will be weeks at a time with no problems at all and then a few
days in a row when I get disconnected a couple of times an hour.
Also, the network doesn't show up at all in some of the interior
rooms of the house even though they have windows. It's really
frustrating. I joined as soon as the network showed up in my list of
available networks, so I've been hoping it's because they're not done
with the build-out yet. I remain hopeful but I'm still using Comcast
90% of the time. I've been able to have two computers connected at
the same time which is nice but transferring files between them is
glacially slow.
Since I'm on disability, I'm supposed to get the service for $9.95 a
month but the Wireless Philadelphia office hasn't called me back yet
after several tries. In the meantime I'm paying the full $19.95. a
one year contract is necessary as usual.
Also, it's sort of like hotel internet access. I have to sign in with
my username and password at least once a day.
And that's the story so far.
