Cheapest VOIP Solution

I am currently on naked DSL and use my cell phone as my primary number. Reception is a bit spotty in my house and occasionally calls are dropped. What is the cheapest VOIP solution out there? I wouldn’t need many minutes at all…just something to use on occasion.

Port forwarding problem

I got my DSL connection before I got my wireless router, so I set up the router. I’ve been trying to download torrents, and it lets me, but it throttles my speed by at least 1/2 if not more. I’ve went to the various tutorial sites on how to set up port forwarding, but everytime [...]

Wireless router choices

The 2Wire I got when I upgraded to DSL is about to die and the Netgear WGR614 doesn’t get a good signal whenever I’m in the backyard. The house is on the end of a cul-de-sac and from my room to our backyard is anywhere from 50 to 120 feet.
Soon enough, I’ll have my PC, [...]
