How Do You Connect To The Internet?

Service: Tampa Bay Brighthouse Roadrunner (Normal Tier)
Router: Linksys WRT54GL
Firmware: Tomato (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato)
DNS: OpenDNS
Wireless Security: Don't use WEP or WPA. Only use Mac Address filtering. If someone can spoof a Mac, they probably can break WEP (and we can't use WPA due to Nintendo products).

So far it's pretty good. I can't wait until Verizon gets FiOS in our area though. Supposedly it's coming soon. I love my Tomato firmware, I used to use DD-WRT but I recently switched to Tomato. I love QoS on Tomato. So easy!

Downloading/Upload Bit Torrent Fullspeed + Streaming HD Netflix over Xbox + Browsing the web + aim + playing online games with no lag = win. :D

At home:
Service: Cable (supposedly, we pay for a 5 mbps package, but we only ever see 3 mbps down on a good day)

ISP: Charter Telecommunications

Router: Linksys WRTG54 (I think?)

DNS: Used to use OpenDNS, but I'd get a lot of problems with searching, so I cleared it to use Charter's DNS

Wireless Security: I had WPA2 set up (password: theinternetisforporn, ha ha ha), but my parents just don't get it, so the last time I was over, I undid it to leave the router unsecured. I know my dad's tried to set up his own security for it, but he keeps doing some terribad corporate security key crap.

At apartment:
Service: Cable (no idea what kind of package my apartment complex gets; it sucks though, I frequently get disconnected from WoW when there should be no problems)

ISP: Charter Telecommunications

Router: I can't get a router/switch to work with my modem (old piece of crap? somehow disabled for my account?), so I have to connect directly to my modem. That means I either have my desktop connected, my laptop connected (on the rare occasion I need to do a lot of work on my laptop in my apartment and need a dependable internet connection), or my 360 connected at any one time.

Wireless Security: I often leech unsecured wireless from other apartments that have it set up. There's about 8 networks in the air, with two or three that are completely unsecured.

Oh right, Home.

ISP: Comcast
Router: Belkin (I don't know the model number)
DNS: I don't know
Wireless Security: WEP, Same situation as home, Nintendo Wii and Tivo. Especially since my mom uses Nintendo Wii a lot for Wiifit.

I have wireless and it goes through my router.

[Charlie]

ISP: Time Warner, paid for through my brother's school. No restrictions to my internet activity what-so-ever, though. As you'd probably think.

Router: Big, and bulky. Has 4 ethernet ports in it. Can't describe it, or give a model number.

DNS: Open, I think. I don't know.

Wireless: I wish it were. That way maybe I could go online with my PS3 and my computer, simultaneously. To use either one, I've gotta disconnect from the other. >.>
