Still random and not Smoked Foods related.  This is going to be the perfect place for you to post threads like this.

this is new that's being offered through dish net and i just signed up for it,  its $4 more a month then what I'm paying now for crappy slow dial up and that price is locked in for life.  my land line phone is through Windstream anyway,    but i haven't found any reviews on there Internet services that's why I'm asking and there might be 1 or more here that use there internet services,  i know ill find out anyway but id like to know in advance for any problems.

there's no tech related category except for the forum related issues,   the Internet is very important, it allows people everywhere to come together and share ideas and thoughts,  maby even about smoking meats

Smoking meats and foods is what this forum is all about!

windstream's info on this is alittle deceiving,  it says that its a wireless modem

  there's an  Ethernet cable from the computer to the box,  then a phone cord from the box to the phone jack,     my definition of wireless modem must be WAY OFF base

and then theres the age of this puter if it can handle this,  (12 yrs old) and then hype it up with a few more problems,    that made for an excellent excuse to get a new puter,   im currently deciding on one of these at tigerdirect.com

the reviews are so mixed of good and bad ones that ill be doing some comparing for a while,  with only  $640.00 cap   (window shopping)
