are there any t mobile phones that dont require internet access? sort of like the verizon envy or dare, but for t mobile. i want something like a sidekick but i dont want to have to pay for the extra internet access. does anyone knowww?
What do I have to do? Can I use my laptop or desktop?
I’m 24, so I spent most of my childhood without internet access. I remember when it got really popular and dial-up was just so awesome. It occured to me today that I can not for the life of me remember what I did with my down time before I had the internet. I mean, I played some games, hung out with friends, but that’s all I can remember. Weird! The internet has taken over my life, it seems. What did YOU do before the internet?
So I’m on xbox live playing MW2 and Black Ops and soooo looking forward to Battlefield 3 so I can throw away black ops and all the CODS. I won;t even sell them on Craigslist for I don’t want to be responsible for torturing any young adults with this garbage.
Anyways, I have done all I can do to achieve the best internet connection and I just moved from one Apartment to another a few miles away and same problem so it’s not "my apartments" I live in a rich neighborhood although I’m n ot claiming to be rich. More yuppies than anything here in Issaquah, Redmond, Bellevue. People who care more about their car than their children.
I got broadband cable over DSL.
I have 30mb down 6mb up.
I bought the best router while putting XBOX on DMZ mode. (doesnt help even when I go direct to modem so don’t tell me it might be my router)
I cleaned the cache out of my xbox hardrive and play the game from hardrive which speeds load times etc.
I speed tested my connection and tells me "faster than 98% of the rest of the US"
I did a DNS benchmark and found the 2 fastest DNS servers so I set those although I realize that don’t play much role in pingtimes for gaming.
I always play with all other computers ethernets unplugged from router so there is not anything else leeching off of my ISP
I have my wireless completely disabled on my gigaport router and run cat6 cables from modem to router to xbox
I’ve done it all folks,
Fact is, my connection is not the issue. And I don’t want to so easily blame the game Black ops or the entire Call of duty franchise even though I think they are pathetic for not letting us know where their servers are located so we can get a better understanding of why the connection is so poor, Because it happens on more than just COD. Battlefiled same issue.
I’m starting to think it is none of the above but XBOX MICROSOFT plain and simple. The wierd part is that I live right down the street from Microsoft/Xbox Headquarters. Shouldn’t I have at least a fair gaming experience, Why is it that I have the best connection in the room 99 out of a 100 times and it makes me host, yet the delay and bullet registering is pathetic.
Come watch my game play sometime on Black ops in theater mode. I’m not bragging but There isnt but a handful of people as good as me as far as a smart player goes and I don’t camp. I have been forced to play smarter because head to head I get unfair lag against me. I get the feeling it’s something to do with living in the Northwest because I know how good I am at these games. My wife watches me get first place 9 times out of 10 on the average but we both can’t believe how robbed I’m constantly getting. I only get first place like I do because I play smarter than most people and a lot more aggressive with noob tubes, rpg’s and double grenades etc. lol The fact is, if this was a lan line I know people would accuse me of cheating because my precision and instincts are supernatural.
Problem still remains however that living in the Northwest and Microsoft isn’t all they say they are. As much as I hate to say this I’m about to go back to Playstation even though their number one shooter game "SOCOM" was an absolute failure on PS3 SOCOM 4, and Zipper Headquarters who also is located just a few miles away from where I live, ignored the true SOCOM fans when we told them we want SOCOM 2 back, THE REAL SOCOM! Not this garbage the Military Industrial Complex apparently told them to make to benefit their recruiting garbage for another tyrannical staged terrorist event. Who knows.
Support your local militia and the Constitution that gives us our God given rights. Bill Gates supports death panels. Maybe we should throw these greedy murderers in jail for a change!
When I try, the Wii is able to identify my home wifi network as an access point but the connection test always fails, even if I manually enter the IP address, DNS, etc. The customer support at Nintendo said that accessing through wireless internet like Clear.com (which I use) could be difficult. Is this true or just corporate buck-passing, and how can I make it work?
I was wondering can we play the un-released MAG game on PS3 without internet connection?
Or do we absolutely have to have an internet access connection required in order to just play it?
Because I don’t want to waste my money on it if it needs internet access. 
Since my internet is not all that fast..
Thanks!
I have an iPod 3rd gen. And was wondering if there was a plan with AT&T that would allow me to get all access internet, instead of trying to find networks on my wifi, sometimes I can’t find networks
I have a laptop that I JUST got and a desktop that is a 2003 model. The laptop doesn’t have internet yet so I bought a Wireless G 802.11 Access Point. The desktop gets internet from a Motorola Motem that has 3 ports, But all 3 ports taken up, 1 for power, the other is a USB which goes to the tower which goes to the monitor and the last goes to the network. So I tried disconnecting the network cable, then plugged the linksys cable to there, so the lynksys was connected including its ac adapter. The lights went on ( power, act and link) and were kinda blinking. Then we went to the next step on the setup disk and it tried connecting to internet or network and then it said, Access point Wireless G did not find a network connection. Neither my laptop or my computer had internet. I kept trying and trying, but never did it come up. So now I gave up and put in the old network cable and have internet again. Do I need a router since it has many ports or can I use my motem still and change it?
I have a wireless router at my house and I can get internet access but I want to have internet access at a friends house.
I have a Edimax 802.11g Turbo Mode Wireless Lan PCI Adapter in the same room as my PS3, my Wireless card picks up the signal much stronger than the PS3, is there a way I can turn my wireless card into an access point to connect my systems to.
