Some of the new smart phones also have tethering which means you connect your phone to your computer for wireless internet. Verizon has this with the Iphone now.
From what I hear DSL is the best choice for reliability and speed is fine.

Mediacom is definitely not available. That's why I was hoping someone in the neighborhood would have a definitive answer and not speculation.

we have mediacom on n. andalusia, and - knock wood - do not have any problems with it except when everything is knocked out during a big storm. and even this doesn't happen often. not too happy with the cable - need more channels and a better picture - but at least we get all of those we are most interested in, except for fox business. our internet is wireless with our apple airport and really is very good. if i have jinxed myself, i am going to be ticked! ;-)
My roomate said mediacom is not available there. I will definitely look into it. Thanks.
I have mediacom here where I am in SRB and agree about the pretty poor service provided by mediacom, but they're the only game in town if you want cable, sadly. I wish Cox cable was available out here.

Maybe once every six months we need to do a power cycle, but that's okay. We also have our land-line phone service with them.

Centurylink is not available at the address. Mediacom is checking, but not hopeful.
