Internet Service Provider charges for Extra Modem?

David Caruso asked:

Well, I need a new Cable Modem to hook up to our Cable so I can play my Xbox 360 Live without having to run a 30 foot cord through the basement or having to buy a 100$ wireless adapter, so now, I need to buy a Cable Modem. I asked my Internet Service provider, who already has provided us one, but it is in use for 2 Routers, one wireless, and one wired. So I cannot move it. I asked if I could pay them for an Extra Modem, and they said they charge 40 or 50 dollars a MONTH just to use the Extra Modem. Is this a complete rip off? Where else could I get the Cable Modem?
Wow, did you even read the Question.
RAM OR PROCESSOR?

And my Cable system, about it. I already have the cable in back of my TV which I get the Channels from, next to my TV I have the Xbox 360. I don’t need to run a 30 foot cable from the router on the other side of the basement to the Modem, since you hook the modem up to the Cable which is used for the TV. I just need to find a Cable Modem, I don’t need your help with a router, cables, or anything else.
Desert, I already have the Cable line going in back of my TV. All I need to do is unplug it from the back of the TV, and plug into my Cable Modem. If I need to, I can even use a Splitter to connect to both the TV and the Modem.
Oh..
So I’d need to be charged for having another Modem in the house?
What would happen if I just plugged the Cable Modem from another store into the Cable, would it work? Would I still be charged?

Wireless internet service?

elizabeth m asked:

My sister gave me her laptop. I used DSL service with my desktop. Since I moved, I haven’t transferred our service. Do I need to have an internet provider or can I purchase some sort of card? And no, my neighbors have secured networks so I can’t “share” service with them. What ever will I do?

My roommate just cut the internet off, and left it up to me to find a new provider. I don’t know anything about internet service providers, but I do all of my work online from home and need a reiable high speed connection.

We were using wireless that cost $40 a month, but one of my friends said I could find wireless for less than that. I’m not sure about providers. Could you recommend some to me?

Where can I find inexpensive internet provider-Too far away for dsl, and wireless towers?

John asked:


Where can I find inexpensive internet provider-Too far away for dsl, and wireless towers?
I am located in Unioville Michigan, and I am having one heck of a time getting internet service out here. I have earthlink Dsl rated at 1.5mbs. That is not happenining. I am getting more like 300kbs because I am too far away from a central station.
I tried wirless tower services thru speednet. The signal kept dropping because I am too far away. Needless to say we dropped that service as well. I have looked at T1 lines but they are way out of my budget. Does anyone have any ideas where I can go from here. Not interested in Satellite service either. Its worse. Thanks
