Wireless Internet Question

The Verizon wirless card works great!

Dianna Vesta · 02-14-2006

I had Verizon cell service and it didn't get good reception in most of the areas I was in. I switched to Cingular and that works great in most areas.

I just signed up for a special promotion at Cingular unlimited data plan for 59.95 which is pretty cheap. She said it's MUCH faster then dial up. The modem was only 99.00 with a mail in rebate.

I'm going to give it a try and see how I like it. I don't normally like working on a lap top but if I can sit outside, work at the beach, wherever I get cell service then it's all good.

Thanks Mike!

We have Verizon for our cell phones, and are pretty happy, and were thinking about getting a wirless card for one of our laptops...

What kind of speeds are you normally getting with it?

I hate working on a laptop. I am going to be stuck in Florida for at least 4 months traveling back to VA one week a month. DSL and cable are not available. I could get satilite but the start cost are over 500.00 and they want a 15 month contract.

A land line is just not an option and cost almost as much as the data package when you include ISP. I just wish I could use this PCMIA modem/wireless connection on a desk top instead of lap top. I wondered if I could get a router or something.

Looks like I'll be sending CD's to Nat Net for uploading. Of course all of this happens right when I am in the middle of way too many projects.
