Hi y'all,
I'm moving into a new flat and as is the vogue with big developments broadband is provided centrally (saves you having to faff around with a BT line and long contracts).
The broadband is provided through an ethernet network and a sole CAT5 socket in the flat. However for me just having one computer connected to the net is pretty pointless. Both me and Mrs Pubey have both home computers and work computers, and I have a PS3.
So ideal would be to set up some kind of wireless setup. A bit of digging suggests that it's possible to set up a wireless access point using a router with ethernet capabilities.
Firstly is this true? secondly what router should I be looking at?
Thirdly, there are three different prices I can go for:
Package Name Price per month Download Speed Upload Speed
25 Meg £50.00 25 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s
10 Meg £25.00 10 Mbit/s 10 Mbit/s
4 Meg £15.00 4 Mbit/s 4 Mbit/s
Does the 10Meg option look alright? I'll be playing some PS3 online, streaming a bit and downloading a bit. Likely we'll be using a couple of computers at the same time if work too. Plus they have a online internet calling option which looks pretty decent
company are www.ask4.com if it helps
Any help greened.
peace xx
