SOCIAL: ISP recommendations?

[Amandeep Jawa]

This reply is for Doug - but it might be useful for other out there:

Doug -

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing you actually want 2 things*:

1) You want an ISP to provide you internet access to your home.

2) you want that access to be wireless.

1) is easy - go with the replies you have gotten (I use Speakeasy) or  
Adrian seems to use PacBell with no complaints........ Don't bother  
with dialup - you want a broadband connection which either means DSL  
or cable modem.  I like DSL - but  some people use cable modems.

2) is a separate issue.  Once you have an broadband connection you  
just need to plug that into a wireless base station & set it up.  If  
your Mac has an Airport card (I don't recall) it will be able to use  
the connection wirelessly.  I recommend the http://www.apple.com/ 
airportexpress/ & I can get you some small discount on one.

*If that is not what you want then maybe you want some sort of  
general "wherever I am in the world" wireless internet connectivity -  
which is semi-possible but a whole different can of worms & expensive.
