internet???

[sarren]

Now that Dragonfly has started her university course** she's needing the internet. A lot.

So what are my options here? Hooking Bunny's comp up too? I'd either need a second phone line or a hub thingy, is that right?

Or what about if I get a laptop and go wireless internet? Is that something seperate? And no, I'm not thinking I'm making excuses to get me a laptop, why do you ask?



**Not even news like this inspired Dragonfly to post to her livejournal. I give up.

err rough maths here based on own experiences.

2nd phone line: ~$30 per month + calls + cost of dialup account.
Initial outlay to get a new phone line was $173 last time I looked.

Broadband: ~$50 per month, no call cost - can go cheaper if you are willing to use iinet for local calls as well.
Initial outlay ~$150 for 4 port hub + $88-100 to connect.

Wireless: same as broadband with with more expensive toys.. I think. Ask juffles He knows all "..could install it in a blindfold with one hand down my pants."

Having said that ascetic_hedony needed a $50 network card in his laptop and my baby bro did all the techie stuff.
