What is your internet connection like?

[sohum]

The computers do not have to be close to each other mate.

They do...hence Local Area Network. This means that the computers are geographically in the same location. Doesn't have to be in the same room, but it is usually confined to a building or a certain location. Unlike Wide Area Network which can be over two different countries, continents, etc.

Your house has a WLAN--the computers are close to each other. They are in different rooms/floors.

My house has a wireless LAN of 3 laptops, 2 desktops and a printer.

Wow...
And yet you hardly ever seem online...

I have a 256kbps broadband connection.

I applied about 20 days ago for an MTNL "Broadband" 256 kbps connection. If they ever install it, I've heard that it's slower than dial-up. :S At least I can download through the night, I guess.

They charge you per hour, taimurasad? That's has to suck. I pay $30 a month here for AT&T DSL service and it's unlimited

 

[sohum]

Yeah...most broadband connections are data-transfer based. I didn't notice it first time around.

That sucks per hour charge. I pay $65 per month and that too Unlimited.

Well I took it that you meant 'far away from each other' like in another room. Sorry mate.

Broadband. The way to go.

I dont know abt other countries but its per hour charge here.

Have a look at this calculation
$0.05/hr means if i use it 24hrs a day then it makes $1.2/day. So in 30days(1 month) it makes $36.
So i can say that its $36/month unlimited.

Yeah, computers can get lonely, too.

Haha, someone actually gave me negative reps on this post. Strange though that my points went up.

 

[duffarama]

I never gave you any reputation points. Not positive nor negative.

I know, I guess we have some techno-phobes here.
