*Which do you use? Would you recommend it or not?

Yes but that's the same if you have a wireless regular phone too so it's really not that different.

I'm thinking about it. How do you install it?

My DH works for cablevision so installed it himself but I believe that someone has to install it for you. You do have change your #though.


It also is printed in several magazines that opt online is faster then dsl.
