ISP help
I'm facing an issue I can't resolve. I'm looking for an ISP plan with unlimited data, but the only option available is Cable One. When I enter my address, it shows a data plan already linked to that location. The challenge is that I'm still living with my parents in Mississippi, and they're asking me to cover my own expenses. I'd like internet without needing another ISP for my area.
They already have an account for the house, seems to cover internet. It might be worth discussing with them.
Occasionally, internet service providers restrict households to just a single connection.
Disappointing if they partner with an ISP that rejects it, yet option one seems to be the best choice
Back then, when I lived with my grandparents, we faced the same problem. The local ISP limited each household to just one connection. I added myself to their account and took charge, upgrading to the best service they offered. Since they’d been with the ISP for a long time, they had a great deal, so I secured a good plan while they got free internet—perfect for both of us.
They didn’t offer any additional services. When you spoke to a live representative, they confirmed there were no options available.
It’s more complex than just connecting a modem. Cable internet needs the signal to reach the modem according to specific requirements. That’s why minimizing the number of devices between you and the modem is ideal. If the existing wire isn’t strong enough, you’ll need an additional one. That’s straightforward if the wiring is underground—it becomes a more involved situation. You also need to assume the TAP has open ports for this process. The biggest challenge here is that you’re not the homeowner. This affects the cable company since technically they can’t allow you to drill through walls. Additionally, your address is likely marked as a single-family home, which might confuse the CSR at the cable provider.
