I have heard that you can access the internet through the electrical wiring in one's home. Is this true?

Internet is a conduit, it is more like electricity that cable though.\n\nIt will allow the convergence of media, communications and entertainment for 3G - games, girls and gambling

It would help if you provided more information eg state how you connect to the internet...wired modem or router or modem router.\nPeople are not going to give the best solutions to something so vague.\nIf you use a modem router try this for starters...unplug it from the mains, wait 10 seconds & then plug it back into the mains. Wait another 10 seconds & try accessing the internet again

Yep - high speed internet is basically "broadband" which you can get over a cable or through a phone line (called ADSL or DSL).\n\nHave a look at this article for beginners which explains everything really clearly:

Considering that DSL runs of 2 copper wires running through a house, NO unless they had a unsecured wireless connection.

if you plug it in, and it goes online, you're online. you don't install broadband, you just pay the subscription and surf away!

yes you would if you have your own internet portal. there is another way. if your neighbor as a wireless router, then you would probably be able to use THEIR internet but the internet would belong to your neighbor.\ni guarantee this the best answer

I don't think that it occurs to a lot of people that there is free internet access at libraries.\n\nEspecially now-a-days when so many people have computers in their own homes.... most people spend so much time at their house watching television and surfing the net, they don't make it to their local library.\n\nI'm glad you've found a means to access such a great resource.  I hope you make the most of it.

Yes, you should have no trouble with this. I have a router through which 4 computers connect to the internet -- 2 use win xp, 1 has 2000 pro and 1 runs linux (fedora core).\nA router does not depend on your computer's operating system to work. It is a signal splitter between your modem and your home computers. As long as your computers are configured to access the internet through your  modem, going through a router should be no problem.
