Do you have more than one ISP?
 

Just in case one ISP is on the blitz you can use the other ISP to connect to the internet?

I hate being cut off even if it's for a few hours. Am I alone or is having two ISPs reasonable?

No need for backup ISPs these days... So many open wireless networks :)

I have 4Broadband ISPs in my house scattered across a few rooms
It's a great idea if you have the NEED for it, or if your service is unreliable.

thats for sure :upsidedow

My gf wants me to cancel our Cox acct because the two houses next to us have it open all day long :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Thanks I'll have to look into this.

It was a joke :1orglaugh

I have a friend who runs a FTP off this neighbors OOL connection :1orglaugh

dont worry, you're not the only one :thumbsup

I have a nextel 830 phone with a 56K wireless internet capability. Slow as shit but usable. I got it mainly for travel, but when the cable modem goes out I just plug the usb connector into my pc and instant 56K internet, I can stand it for a few hours.

lol, I bet there are ppl in my apt building that run off my wireless router.

I have at leat 5 different isps so I can check things from different accounts. It also helped me in the past with gallery posting. Maybe I should start doing gallerys again.
