My apartment, is completely wireless! (sustain the "woots" for later)
Unfortunately, I did not realize when the renter put in the wireless router (g 125), he decided to make the WHOLE building wireless. Including 3 other apartments (7 people total) and the downstairs pub. (yes, i live above a brewery, sustain the "woots")
Now, me and another roommate share apartment 1 with the owner's son (cool guy, but otherwise unsavvy with this kind of setup he's doing). The two of us decided our pings were much too high on FPS and MMO games. He's getting 8,000 ping in WoW and I'm getting 200+ in CoD and UT2k4. It's a cable modem, but split that many ways.. and wireless at that... our bandwidth slows to a crawl whenever someone on the network decides to download an MP3... or watch streaming video.. w/e.
We contemplated getting our own 3mbs cable line for just the two of us and split the $44 month cost. Seems fine... but here comes the hard part I need you guy's help on:
We pay $120+ for cable, premium channels and the internet, split three ways of course, for the charter TV/Internet package. I hate charter, btw. The owner's son is kinda pissed that we're thinking of getting our own private internet because then we won't be paying for the internet on his side. Even though split 8 ways, the slight rise in cable costs for the rest of the people would be only like $4. So I don't know what to do. When we signed the contract, the apartment wasn't wireless. everything had an ethernet going to it. And he didn't tell us one line was used for the entire apartment at the time of our lease. in the poetic words of my roommate "this is bullsh1t, why shouldn't we get another line?"
(now "woot")
