I have been on-line at home now since 1998. Wow 11 years, time flies when you’re on-line. Last month my 2Mb cable broadband was upgraded to 10Mb. I am now considering setting up a wireless network as part of the upgrade to my multi-media services.

Below is a speed test I carried out from the Think Broadband site.

the need for speed

I have been looking at prices all morning. My bill says I pay £20 per month for medium bandwidth broadband. According to the Virgin Website I am paying £18 for medium broadband. If I want to upgrade to large I would have to pay £25 per month. But I am already getting the large bandwidth.

Some confusion here, so I will phone Monday. I will ask for wireless network equipment then.

I am installing wireless broadband as part of my mobile office project. This should allow me to work effectively anywhere with an internet connection for extended periods. I want this completed for the World Cup in South Africa next summer.

Obviously I will need a laptop, maybe a notebook. There is no way I can prepare articles on a mobile phone. I have tried.

I want a wireless network to develop and test against.

It has taken eleven years, but the net is finally setting me free.
