I have never had regular internet- I used to use clearwire. I am trying to get internet through frontier-- does this sound reasonable?
What I can offer you is unlimited internet up to 3.71 mbmbps secured with the best in the business for protecting up to three devices from viruses, spyware and malware and has the best firewall. You also get free identity protection. There is no contract with this offer and the price is good for 3 years.
Your monthly rate would be $39.98 a month and if you place the account on auto pay you will get an extra $5 off a month making your monthly total only $34.98 a month.
what is mbmbps?
I think that's a typo, and it's megabits per second. And that's a pretty slow speed. You'd probably have trouble streaming or downloading anything.
Yeah, here's my internet company's speeds and pricing: [link] I think we have 20mbps. We cannot really watch 2 streaming things at once, but 1 + general internet is fine.
Thanks! I'll ask if there is something faster.
Weirdly, I can only get 3 mbp or 6 mbp. There are no other plans available at my house. I must live in a black hole.
We still have a 5 mbp plan, and we can stream shows through the Roku with no delays or buffering.
That's good to hear, Steph! Somehow today, I got a deal where I am paying $19.99 for 6 mbps, instead of $39.99 for 3 mbps, but I have no idea.
"The Chevrolet Bolt, when it goes on sale later this year it will be the first long-range battery electric vehicle that's truly affordable. In fact, GM says that after the EV tax credit, the Bolt will cost under $30,000, making it cheaper than the average new-car price. Not bad at all for an EV with a 200-mile range."
Mom has DSL and it's around 7 mbp, which is way slower than I'm used to. For the most part we can stream Netflix through the xbox BUT we can't have 2 things streaming/downloading at the same time. Downloading takes longer and I'm not able to play certain games right now.
And sometimes things just slow to a crawl but that's usually in prime use times.
I am looking for a new wireless keyboard/mouse combo to replace my ancient Logitech combo. So far everything I've tried has been unsatisfactory for one reason or another. For one thing I found that I hate low profile keys. For another, they all go to sleep to save power. I wouldn't mind if the sleep time was adjustable, but the Eagle Tec I'm using right now shuts down the mouse after only 8 minutes of inactivity, and simply moving the mouse doesn't bring it back. You have to press a button. Very annoying. I tried Logitech's current bottom of the line, but it came with a teensy laptop-sized mouse, and there turned out to be a huge lag problem with the keyboard. It was probably due to power saving stuff, but it was taking up to five or ten seconds for the keyboard to respond and actually start typing. It got returned. I've always gone Logitech in the past, so that was very disappointing.
I also have a newish Microsoft combo, but the keyboard is not just low profile, it's so low profile that it's chiclet function keys don't register until you push them through the surface of the keyboard.
So, any thoughts? I use Windows and a little bit of Linux. I want full profile keys, reasonable power saving settings (if any), and a full-size mouse.
