Wow, how far out of the city do you live? The only thing near me is a gas station and a wing shack and we got dsl years ago..... still dont have cable though.Ok, they are finally bringing better internet out to my area. So as of today, I will be off the dial-up and onto a wireless internet thru the electric company. They say it is fine for gaming. Guess we will see.
I would bet directional, a tower capable of enough power for a wireless router. . . hmm, maybe with the power company.What's the set-up going to be?
Directional antenna, or standard wireless router style connection?
I've never heard of power companies providing wireless internet before.
Gratz Vortex. I know how ya feel. I played 5 years of UO and 4+ of DAoC on 56k until last year I finally got cable. I was so excited I could hardly sleep,rofl. It definately make an old game brand new again,lol.Results from speakeasy speed test:
