Internet service during move

Recommended Posts

I'm moving to Oregon in a couple of weeks and I'm exploring the idea of canceling comcast service and getting my final bills and doing my banking by free wifi until I get a fixed address which should be in about a month.

Any advise anyone has to protect my data, passwords, etc. would be appreciated.

I guess I would have to set up new email accounts with a free service and transfer my bills to it. Are any safer than any others?

What about staying with comcast and using their free hot spots across country?

 

I'm asking for advice since I only connect to the internet via my home set up which seems to be well protected.

don't worry too much about it

if you just want to use the email to pay bills, google gmail is best

they will filter almost all the spam coming to you

 

 

anyway, you can also use an iphone or something

you can also use your smartphone to tether an internet connection in your house to use a PC until your cable is hooked up

you have to pay a small fee to your phone company though, but just a month should not be bad like 15 or 30$

 

I absolutely would get rid of comcast if you have the option

I dont have their service but my relatives do and even I hate them

Trying to setup HD service for my mom was a horrible experience

 

timewarner cable in texas is also pretty bad

ATT Uverse is probably the best if they have it in your area

 

unless you are moving to a large city near the coast, dont expect too much in oregon

because last time i was there, there was trees and dirt and more dirt.

I didnt see any wifi hotspots, but I did see alot of prarie dogs

Thanks for the info. I'm stuck using my laptop since my cell phone is ancient, I think it still has a rotary dial
