Can I have two high speed internet services in a residential home?

Faisal Y asked:

My dad is fixated with Telus High Speed Internet, I absolutely hate the DL/Upload speeds. I’ve read on countless forums that it’s because they use packet-sniffing to throttle torrents.

What would you do? I upload a lot of videos to Youtube and this internet service absolutely sucks and my dad refuses to listen to reason. He even signed a 1 year contract. I wanted Shaw. What do I do?

What should I be sure I do to upgrade to high speed internet?

Bill G asked:

My son wants me to upgrade to high-speed internet so he can download music faster to his ipod. I am concerned about what I need in terms of firewalls and spyware blockers and anti-virus and computer hackers. I am running Webroot’s Spysweeper with anti-virus and SystemSuite’s Netdefense firewall on my dialup connection right now. Should I consider better programs than these?

He also wants to have a wireless LAN in the house. How do I prevent someone from tapping in to that?

We are considering BellSouth’s DSL because I can combine my cell, home phone and dialup accounts for about the same money and still get this high-speed connection. I just need to purchase the necessary hardware and software protection. By the way, BellSouth offers a firewall at $10/month. Would that be better advised than buying some third-party firewall such as Norton?

Cheapest way to have both a phone service and a high speed Internet connection?

What’d I Say asked:


I’ve got high speed Internet service of only 1 MB and a broadband phone connection from Comcast. I pay more than $80 per month. There’s got to be a way to get the same, if not better service, at a lower price. The only ISPs in my area providing high speed Internet are Comcast and Qwest.

With a laptop do you have to order wirless high speed internet?

Irishgirl asked:


I was just wondering because if you didnt do that then the cord would be running from the laptop across the floor.My friend told me she has a laptop and she has wirless high speed.We use to have a laptop and thats when we had regular dial-up and I remember running the phone cord to the laptop from the wall so basically it was dragging across the floor and that sucked.Anyway does your laptop also have to be set up to have wirless internet because I’ve been reading about laptops with WiFi,so if your laptop doesnt have that,does thatmean it cant go on the internet wirless?Also what companies provide wireless internet.My dad told me we cant get dsl where we live.We do have highspeed but its not from dsl its from a satellite.But I am wondering if I can get dsl wireless where we live.Anyway any answers would be very much appreciative!
