Three Options for an Internet connection at Home

Option Three While this is by far the most costly option, i think it delivers quite a blow. These guys give you 7.2 Mbps of speed to play with on their USB GPRS devices. What i did with this is connect a cable from my laptop to the Wireless Router in order to split up the 10GB that i was offered for that month. Because my primary concern was to get some more devices connected to the Internet, this combinations was great! My only major challenge was to buy the USB GPRS and then pay for the Monthly Costs and then purchase the wireless router to make sure i could split it. In addition, i had some trouble using voice of IP services some of which are not built to communicate using GPRS. With that much power under my hood that problem will soon be resolved. The absence of any particular brands was deliberate. Instead for all three i chose to focus on the technologies.

Option Two This setting does not differ too much from the first option except instead we make use of the American made wireless router to distribute the signal receive using the Wimax Indoor receiver . The advantage of using this system is that the equipment that is provided by the service provider some ready to use out of the box. If you have your own equipment though, most providers usually have a technical team that can tackle almost any device to acclimate it to their own systems. For the die hard users there is always the standard Internet search! The router in the foreground is available on Kampala Rd. in at a reasonable pocket friendly cost. It also has four ports in the back for additional devices. Most of these routers reserve one port for the Internet connection (to receive the Internet). This particular one is also built with dual sim card capability so that additional services can be included such as use in Home Office Settings. Unless you are ready to handle those larg

Option One A few months ago i mentioned that i have a dual boot system that runs Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS . It is therefore a pretty big issue in my life if i find a system that can function of both sides and deliver the result that i am looking for. Sometimes you might find that your Internet USB GPRS works well in windows but is unrecognized in Linux. There is software for this but my point is, when i find hardware that works on both sides this is normally a plus point. The first option you see above is offered by one of the recent entries into the Ugandan Market. The monthly fees are quite enticing and the offer comes with the hardware needed to run the system. Judging from some of the inquiries that i made, there is a limit to how far (distance) the system can go. What it basically is a Chinese made Wimax Indoor Router which picks up the signal from one of the their masts and then sends this directly to your PC if you choose or to a another Chinese made Wireless ADSL Ro
