With more people working from home and one or more persons needing access to the internet for school and/or communication with friends or family, one computer and internet connection doesn't
work very well unless your willing to wait your turn.

HOWEVER...............

By networking your computers together, you can share your internet connection, as well as the files and equipment located at each computer, and as a bonus, if you install the right network equipment, you will also get a built in firewall protection for a secure and safe internet experience not available in a stand alone system without installing expensive, and usually hard to use software.

With the popularity and growing availability of Broadband and DSL internet services, which both provide internet connections 10 to 20 times the speed of a dial-up connection, and the fact that your connection is always on, and always connected to the interenet
the security of a networked system is a crucial component
to your internet experience.

Most Broadband and DSL internet providers allow you to network your computers and share the connection with up to 4 computers at no additional cost on your bill, but do not actually provide network installation services themselves, which leaves you attempting to install the necessary equipment yourself, or hiring it done, and to be honest today most network equipment (routers) are basically plug and play, which only leaves the installation of CAT 5e network cabling.

The Cable Guy can usually install your network cabling start to finish cheaper than you can do it yourself if you go out and buy the cables, the connectors and the outlets at your local Best Buy or Circuit City.

If you are considering networking your computers at home or in your businesss, do yourself a favor, check out the cost of running your own network cables, and call the other companies that provide this service, then call THE CABLE GUY, and "get wired by the best"
