What about HIGH SPEED INTERNET (DSL) access in Naples? |
|
But in any Starbucks restaurant you can go online (wireless). We tried it by ourselves at Starbucks in FIFTH AVENUE SOUTH, in oposite of the theater.
But if you want to have Internet access in your rented unit with no hassle, then you have to take care of...
STEP 1
Ask the caretaker of your rental unit whether there is a DSL (high speed internet) access or not.
If NOT go ahead with step 2.
If YES ask what kind of DSL access.
(a) Connected by wire, then you need an Ethernet cable, what you can buy at Radio Shack. Check that your computer has a network plug. END.
OR:
(b) Connected wireless (WLAN) and router. Check that your computer is able to work wireless. END.
STEP 2
IMPORTANT: All condos in FALLING WATERS have the TV provider COMCAST!
Check out what the rental unit's TV provider is. COMCAST?
If YES, proceed with step 3.
If NOT, you have to find a connection with the telephone provider EMBARQ.
6438 Naples Boulevard, Naples, FL 34109, Phone (866) 304-6820.

Open a temporary account. You have to provide them the phone number of your rented unit.
END.
STEP 3
Call COMCAST at (239) 793-3577 and make an appointment to get there at
COMCAST, Marquesa Plaza, 13040 Livingston Rd Suite 12, Naples, FL 34105, M-S 9:00-7:00
or
COMCAST, 301 Tower Road, Naples, FL 34101-9984, M-F 8:30-5:00 (it is on CR 951, Collier Blvd to MARCO ISLAND).
Open a temporary account on your name and your bill. You have to mention name and address of the landlord. And don't forget to rent a COMCAST High Speed Modem. With the modem you will get
(a) an Ethernet cable - what you need from your computer to the modem.
(b) a coaxial cable - what you need from the modem to the TV outlet.
(c) ask for coaxial T-Connector to split the signal from the TV outlet into two signals (1) for the TV and (2) for the coaxial cable to the modem (b).
END.
Happy Surfing.
