Confused about internet access for Macs.....?
-
Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me out here..... (Sorry if what I'm about to write gets confusing, but I don't entirely know what I'm talking about.) Ok, I have a Mac desktop computer with Leopard software, and (unfortunately) I use dial-up as my internet access. (For awhile I used Wifi through AirPort BUT, long-story short, I can't access that same network anymore. All the networks around me, most likely from my neighbors, are all password-protected.) So I'm looking for a way that I can have a higher-speed connection, such as with networks through AirPort. However, I don't have Comcast or AT&T or any of those other high speed service providers. For some reason, when I call them to try to get one of their monthly plans, they claim that there are "no more lines available in my community." So I want to know if there is any way I can get wireless high speed internet access WITHOUT a provider. Also, is it possible to use a router without a provider? (I'm pretty sure the answer is no.) I'm also confused about the "cards" that you can plug into your USB. I've heard that there is a way to receive internet from those, but is it a one-time purchase? Or do you need a provider and/or a router for that, too? Another thing is this: Is it possible to still use AirPort Wifi for my computer without a provider? I'm sorry if this is confusing, but, like I said, I am quite confused here myself. Please give me suggestions and help me any way that you can! Thanks ahead of time to anyone who comments!

Answer:
It's not wireless, but have you looked into Earthlink hi-speed? I'm not sure if it's cable or what. Just a thought.
