I currently have AOL service and run on dial-up, but I'm looking to switch to something much faster. I was thinking about Comcast even though it is costly, considering my college student budget. Anyways, I have some questions that I hope someone can answer for me because I am finding out that I know very little about computers or the internet.
1. Is Comcast a good choice or am I better off going with some other high-speed internet service?
2. What is the difference between a wireless card/adaptor, a network card, and an ethernet card/adaptor?
3. Which wireless card would one recommend- the 802.11b or 802.11g? And any recommendations as to where I could get a good one would be great, as Comcast charges about $80.00 for their mac 802.11b card.
4. And any general advice on setting up a high-speed internet connection for my powerbook would be great.
THANK YOU for your time and any help you can send my way. (Also, have a great New Years!)
