Over the past couple of months I have noticed an increasing number a questions relating to both Wireless and Satelite communications.

And I was curious if Speedguide had any plans for a Wireless forum?

Great idea Rosco. I've been following the wireless revolution quite a bit, and the info out there is pretty confusing at times. Satellite is also gearing up more and more, with 2 way service now.

I haven't really seen a need for a seperate forum Just for Wireless, but that is something we can discuss I suppose, if the need is there and all.

Or maybe we can expand the Cable/xDSL forum to a Cable/xDSL/Wireless ??

I like to keep a forum Simple, once a forum fills up with lots of forum topics it seems to degrade the other forum topics on a site, I like to keep the number down as much as possible.

Thoughts anyone?

DSL is Baseband, Digital
Cable is Broadband, Analog

anyways

We could make it a Broadband/BaseBand/Wireless forum

Ok, how about Internet Access Forum?

Broadband/BaseBand/Wireless forum would prolly confuse people.

Seems fine to add in wireless. Of course then we will have to add isdn, and then in the future power lines

Well, There is a category that says broadband on the main forums page, and the description of the Cable/DSL forum does include wireless and any other type of internet connection... I don't see how we could possibly fit every type in the title

Broadbanbd forum... Hmm, what's the definition of broadband ? What does it have to do with high speed ? Although it's most commonly used to describe high speed connections, I believe it simply means a type of transmission of data where the medium can carry several channels at once... And baseband then would be where the medium (wire) can transmit only one signal at a time.

As far as another forum, I'm not sure if the number of posts justifies a wireless forum.

How about AllBand Forum

or, make subsections, so that say u click internet, then have a choice of broadband or baseband, then pick ur type of connection, then select if u use external/internal/NIC/PPPoE/etc... (which ever apply from ur previous selecttion), then tweaked/stock, and finally let u view ur chosen forum

Brent · Post by **Brent** » Sat Dec 02, 2000 12:29 am

High Speed Internet Forum

High Speed Internet Tweaking

Looks like I opened up a can of worms with this suggestion.
However, as a member of SpeedGuide,and for what it is worth, my vote is for a Wireless/SAT. Forum.

Technically Cable isnt analog

It uses a digital downstream signal, but in a way its also analog, using 19 or so hz to pump the upstream.

how bout high speed net access?
