<p>so internet is not included in my apartment next year. anyone know of what internet access (high speed) i can get?</p>
<p>Time Warner cable, Verizon DSL, AT&T DSL, etc.</p>
<p>There are a lot of choices</p>
<p>I’m not sure how AT&T DSL is in Ithaca, but I have it here in New Orleans and it’s not always reliable.</p>
<p>All of my friends had Road Runner (through Time Warner). They charge you extra for wireless service so I paid for the hard wire connection and used an Apple Airport to create my own wireless network.</p>
<p>You don’t really need internet. There are plenty of computer labs
and Red Rover.</p>
<p>lol… its convenient to have internet in apartment… can we still get Secure redrover if we are off campus? i remember on campus we had to activate it by room each year…</p>
<p>i’ve been living off campus, and its really inconvenient when the wireless is entirely down.</p>
<p>At my home I had the fastest cable Comcast offered hooked up to my home network and it was awesome. In contrast, I setup my dad’s house with AT&T DSL under the auspices that he doesn’t need something fast or expensive, well the moral in this story is you get what you pay for. I have nothing but disdain for AT&T DSL.</p>
<p>There is no RedRover when you live off-campus. Although you may be able to get some of the signal if you live nearby Cascadilla or Sheldon</p>
<p>Is Verizon DSL even an option in Ithaca? How does it compare to Time Warner? Everyone I know uses Time Warner Cable, which I’m not a fan of. We were just going to get Time Warner and use an Airport for our house this year, but if there are other options that’d be cool.</p>
<p>
haha…yeah.</p>
<p>as of the beginning of last year when i set up the internet for my house, Time Warner was the only option. they suck. ugh god.</p>
<p>Verizon DSL is an option. I haven’t tried it before so I can’t compare them. However, I’m very satisfied with the speed that I get from the Time Warner cable.</p>
<p>If it helps making a decision, the internet for Red Rover (or any Campus internet) was through Time Warner Cable.
And having Time Warner off campus in an apartment felt just as fast.</p>
<p>i guess timewarner it is then. then dont give you a router with wireless?</p>
<p>Nope, they don’t.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, the Internet on campus is through the University’s multiple T1 lines. The University does have Time Warner Cable for video, however.</p>
<p>@ Caillebotte: I had Time Warner cable for a few years and, unfortunately, it was consistently lame. 
Since the service was included in the rent, I never opted for a different provider. Now that I moved to another off-campus apartment, I have Verizon DSL and it’s pretty awesome! :)</p>
<p>does time warner have a contract?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>you mean there aren’t a lot of choices since unless you are fine with slow dsl, time warner has a monopoly, and as such provide ****y service.</p>
<p>i just realized. if i get my own internet, thats goodbye to dc++ in the apartment right… is there a way to access the network?</p>
<p>You can access dc++ when you’re on campus via redrover.</p>
