Now I am looking to get internet access. What are my options? and How much am I looking to spend? Do we have any consensus as to best service for the dollar?
Thanks

CONGRATS! i got a new laptop about 6 months ago and i LOVE it!! i got it from Office Depot and got a great deal, when i got it, i also asked about the internet, i spent like $50 on a reciever and i use Cable internet and its about $60 a month, i wouldnt have anything else but cable internet cuz its real fast, I HATE slow internet!!!
i dont know if this helped u at all but the only thing i would suggest is go to where you got the laptop, or go to a store that sell laptops such as bestbuy, circuit city, office depot ect...and ask them about what to get for the internet with your new laptop...i think what i got is called Ethernet, im not sure tho (im not a BIG computer person lol) but its where you dont have to be plugged up to the receiver, u can go all over the house if you have ethernet....
i hope i helped a little bit =)

All depends on what you what. I have Dial up and actually its pretty fast. Its Fry's Dial up. $9.95 per month i strongly suggest it. my comp will go to a new page in 3 seconds and I'm not lieing. get cox phone then get the Dial up. together its cheap and fast but if you want to have wireless Internet then call cox or call Fry's and see if they have it. don't get the cox high speed Internet if you just want to stay home. and btw the rumor about Dial up is bad at multi tasking is untrue for most times. It depends on what you loading on the web sites.
Btw i put the Fry's website and the cox website in the sources section.
And btw i just got a HP laptop too. =D
I hope I helped you. =D Thank You For asking.

Your laptop will be slower than a PC. WiFi should already be installed in your laptop. Go to a coffee house and try it. It is slow so you will have plenty of time to drink coffee. Maybe bring a book too....lol
