Internet troubles

[Uncle Shags]

I have a poorly sketched out plan. I'm going to have to feel out the $400 install with the wife. I know her first thought will be to blame my gaming (she is bitter). If I can't convince her that it's not just for me, I may have to go with dial up initially. She'll find it unbearable, even for her relatively modest internet needs, and agree to pony up the high installation cost for wireless. She likes to stream videos for her work, and is constantly checking her email and doing research online. She'll break down within the first week I bet, and then it'll be clear that wireless would be for her too, not just my gaming. I just thought all this up on the fly while writing this, so the plan may change.

That $400 is a real hard pill to swallow for me too though - we'll probably only be in that house for 2-3 years.

I have until the first before I am out of my old house so I am going to spend this week binging (and I wonder why she's bitter...) while I have a good connection. We moved my desk to the new place this weekend so now I sit on the floor with my keyboard and mouse in my lap...

Edit: That plan isn't going to work. She knows there are other options (satellite and mobile broadband) and I'd have to lie to her to convince her those wouldn't be viable for non-gaming internet. I'll just have to get her to agree to the $400 install or suck it up and not game.
