I would like your opinion if you can, which is better, internet or WiFi? I don't get all the stuff my son is trying to explain to me. How many gig or mgs or whatever they are do I need for my megagifting, playing, and using this site? How many what are they called-fast speed, hi speed data thingys?? Totally lost and trying to figure it out. Help please!!! Sorry about the delay. Ive been on vacation to an internet challenged location.

1st internet vs WiFi - since you don't live at whatever server farm MT uses, internet is what gives you access to the game. You are on a Windows machine which has a variety of network ports. You could order an internet connection which will come to some sort of modem (used with cable or phone services or bridge/router if your internet is delivered digitally and plug directly into your Win10 by Ethernet. If so, no one else in the house gets connected unless the can also use Ethernet. WiFi is the wireless Ethernet substitute and as such it is only the last link in the connection - no internet no SN. To complicate things your kids have 'data' parts to their cell phone plans. Data on a cell phone means text messaging but also internet access - probably expensive or limited internet access which is why most cell phone users also keep track of where they can get internet over a free wifi. But wifi is not internet. I was just in several airports and a country that had wifi many places but little internet. The wifi got you to the locations own local web pages but no SN or even email.

Internet contractors should be able to tell you how much of what sort of traffic they can give you. Basically 30 to 50 megabits per second is required for one or two people to use common internet apps at the same time as someone else is watching streaming video (ie, a tv program). But that is per second and some plans prefer to advertise what the deliver per month. I can't predict what you need per month. I can tell you that much of what you do with SN can be done offline to reduce your internet usage. You can TT all you want and attack the latest top 100 list by playing offline and only internet connecting once a day or so for the game to resend. What you do from a friends list is a different matter. Only your computer can tell you how much internet traffic you generate from SN.

What do you want to talk about next?
