Computer guys out there, help?

Question

I unfortunately bought a HP computer, windows 8, weird, but in time I will get use to it...I keep seeing Internet explorer cannot display this page, slow to download anything, I have AT&T, is this a DSL problem?....I do not like using a computer, but...I am trying to learn...how do I figure the best service to use for high speed internet service, sure is not AT&T...besides that when I have to call them, I get a NON ENGLISH SPEAKING PERSON.....thank you

Answer 1

AT&T DSL in all my experiences is awful. Slow and unreliable. Trust me I worked remote desktop support for them for end users. It was nightmare. Anyhow you should go with cable based services. Charter, Comcast, Time Warner, etc. You need to find what's available in your region.

Answer 2

DSL is probably the worst internet access that ever came out (along with ISDN "I" "S"till "D"on't "K"now)

True you rarely get someone that speaks English well enough to understand, but that's with most everyone! About the best would be cable or Fios but of course its not available everywhere. AT&T is good for cell phone service but little else. I would try a LOCAL cable company. Not the "Dish" cable as they do get interference especially around airports!

Answer 3

I fortunately bought two HP Laptop computer, with windows 8 installed on them, The first thing I did when I got them home was to jail break windows 8 and install Linux OS on them. Linux is Faster, Superior and far more Advanced and very easy to use, it works just like windows does, It's Point and Click the mouse button, What people don't know about W8 is that it's locked down so that it will only run W8 software, Users can't download and install what they want, I'm not going to go through all the details of W8 only to say that MS are going to be charging you an annual fee to use the software you have bought, and charge you for all the software updates and upgrades.



Now is the time to start Learning that windows is NOT the only computer operating system in the world Like I said I use Linux OS which is up to date October 2013, I also run Linux on a 13yr old Dell Laptop which can't run W8,



Visit these website and you will see what Linux can do that W8 can't do, if you like what you see then download it and install it on your new windows 8 system
