Great beginning to the website.
BTW
What's leftover wine? ;-)
We just switched to MediaCom (from GTcom) for our new rental on Cape San Blas. I hope it is an improvement, we should be here through March.

Yeah, I love that wine card.Cil said:
BTW I started wardriving at my daughter's apartment. I did it out of curiosity - she had cable modem and wireless of her own. I was surprised how many unsecured wireless networks there were in the apartment building and how many were named linksys. One of her neighbor's wireless networks was named "Yo' mamma." I got a better signal from that one than hers.
We signed up for Sprint 1.5 Mbs high-speed Internet for $34.99 a month. We already had Sprint local service (we use cell phones for long distance) that was costing us just under $20 per month. My first bill after adding this service was $178.45. Let's see, $20+$34.99=$178.45? Yes, I realize that there's some tax and maybe a first month installation charge, but I wasn't planning on that much. I've tried calling Sprint to get an explanation, but I get too frustrated trying to find someone there who knows what they're talking about.
Anyone out there have Sprint local plus 1.5 Mbs Internet? Just curious what your monthly bill shakes out to be after the initial charges.

What about broadband/wireless - excuse the lack of correct terminology - to take a laptop to the beach? More exactly to Grayton. Is that feasible? Or am I dreaming?
Are you looking for a wireless lounge, or wireless at a rental? At our house (which we rent out), we've just set up wireless Internet at 1.5 Mbs. We enjoy it, our guests will enjoy it.
Live here. Want to use my laptop while sitting in the truck on the beach...
Naw, I'll just wardrive and illegally use your wireless network. Just like the cops do in our town. JUST KIDDING (about me, but not about the cops - they really do that - they park near the local college and use students' unprotected wireless networks).scrltbegonya said:
I'm on Georgie Street in Point Washington and we have a bundled package with Mediacom (something like $106/month) which gives us Digital Cable (with HBO and Starz Channels) and a Cable Modem/High Speed Digital Internet. I LOVE the service...it's so fast. I use Sprint DSL at my office on Hwy 331 South (south of the bridge) and it is so slow compared to my high speed cable access at home. It crawls so we must be located on the periphery from the DSL station or whatever (isn't it that you must be within a certain radius to get DSL and the closer you are, the better the service?) What is frustrating is that we can't get the Cable Internet Service at the office because Mediacom doesn't service that area, even though it is only about 3 miles from where I live.
