Linda, I don’t think you can use the IPhone with a cable modem. You have to
have a network plug to plug into the cable modem and your computer. I never
heard of a network cable for an IPhone. Therefore, you have to have a Wi-Fi
system, either through neighboring towers, like Kathleen runs when she is at
home, or through a router which is attached to a cable modem.

No I don't have Wi-Fi through panics. I'm only using my cellular data. And
sometimes it doesn't work very well in this building. When I get home it'll
work a lot better. Because I'm closer to the towers. And I'll sure be glad to
go home yes I will. Anyway I have Time Warner about Wi-Fi when they came here.
And the guy didn't have a router with him. So that's basically how that went.

I didn’t realize you already have Wi-Fi through Panics. If that’s the case,
then I’m confused as to why you contacted Time Warner in the first place. If
you’re happy with Panics by all means stick with it. Hope all goes well for
you. I know you must be excited. I know I am about our move and that’s not
for a couple of months.

I don't want to web-based account. Panics.com is been out for years and I've
had them for years. And they're not going away anytime soon. Their local New
York City provider and I've liked their support and everything. They treat
their customers well. And I'm glad I have them. As I said the only thing I want
is Wi-Fi when I get home. But I have to check with them and see if they have
it. If they do I'll take it. But I don't want our yahoo account or anything
like that. Panics has DSL I think. And I think they use Verizon is their
pipeline. But hey what can you do about that. I have to find out how many days
it's gonna take me to get a landline through Verizon. Hopefully not long. But
anyway I can't believe these next three weeks are going to go fast and then
I'll be home. And I'll sure be glad. We got a thunderstorm earlier not a bad
one but it came. And I think we really need the rain. But no I do not want a
web-based account. And I want to keep what I have. I don't want to change my
email address and go through all that hassle. Especially with Yahoo groups
since I don't remember what their password is or anything. And they're not the
most accessible site on the planet either. So I'm just gonna leave things as
they are.

Yes, Rosie, exactly. That is why it is preferred to have a web-based
account, just for these situations. When I got an older friend to use the
internet many years ago, I got her a Yahoo mail account which she still uses.
She would use the internet at the library, and this was the best option. She
later got a computer at home, and we eventually got internet at home. She now
has an email address with her ISP, which she never uses, and she also has a
Gmail account, which she also doesn't use. She hasn't learned how to do all
these things yet! I have accounts all over the place, and it takes me about 30
min at least every day to check in to each to see if there is any mail. And
them more time to respond, and so on. But each account is set up for different
types of work. It works for me.
Should your service provider have problems and you get no service, then you
can always fall back on your "free" internet account. Sometimes you can set it
up that you will get your ISP mail delivered to your web-based accounts, but I
haven't figured out how to do that. I think you did a wise thing by getting a
Gmail account. This will work as long as Google still is in operation! We never
know.

Hi, Tallguy,
When I switched to Time Warner, the guy told me it would be better to use
gmail since it has more storage than our roadrunner does. The nice thing about
a gmail, hotmail or yahoo account is that it doesn't matter what internet
provider you have. What I like about gmail is the amount of storage it has.

If you are going to get internet service from a provider (the ISP), they
will also give you several email addresses. But, obviously, you will have to
use their domain name. That is why you also should have a web-based address
that is accessible through any internet provider, such as Yahoo, Gmail, and
many others. If anyone uses a domain name from their service provider, it is
only valid as long as they are a paid subscriber to that service. When you
terminate your association with that provider, you also terminate your email
address. Keep that in mind.

Well the problem I have with Time Warner is they wanted me to change my
address to a TWC address instead of keeping panics.com. I told them that was
crazy. I told him I didn't want to change my email address I wanted to keep the
same one.
