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.

Thanks for the info.

Im thinking Broadband now, and I'll need a router and a filter, and a rep from the isp to install them, is that right?

Broadband is nifty. You need a modem to get broadband, a router to share it properly. A router can usually be obtained that includes a switch, optionally a wireless point, and a firewall, all for fairly cheap.
The ISP may or may not install them - often they just give you advice, or charge extra for installation. I'm happy to help install it, generally takes only a few minutes, or their instructions sometimes are even useful.
