Looking for cable modem, advice, switching providers...

Re: Looking for cable modem, advice, switching providers...

excuse me, 5mbit is 35 a month (when u own the modem) and 7m 45 (10/mo more for extreme)

although if i were to upgrade my connection, id just go with the biz pack so i could get the static ips



edit: Don't forget 3web's roots....free and dirt cheap dialup, if you ever used them back then (I was lucky, went with cadvision haha) you'd never even consider switching to their cable :P
edit: haha also, the biggest tool that Mike and I went to SAIT with for IT training got a job there...take that for what you will!

Ryan, a colour? Well then I'm just guessing but I may have found you the cell phone to match



Sorry for thread jacking, but Ryan did it first

Yeah, those are Shaw's prices, and if I'm unhappy with 3web, I'll go shaw, but I have heard good and bad, I'll reserve judgement for myself...I have the modem now, a Motorola SB5100, so I just have to sign up, and get my free month.....and why would you need static IP?

James' and I are in the middle of setting up a VPN between our two places... that is why the static IP is cool.

Ya, I just opened 3389 thru the firewall at work so I can get to my house (i know its not secure, but all i do is download music off oink haha)

I also want static IP's (you get 2 on biz package) for my exchange server and web server so that I dont have these crappy dynamics anymore and have to update DNS everytime shaw changes my ip heh
