Can someone give me the low down on getting an internet connection in my truck, costs, speeds, equipment required etc. I have a Mac Powerbook. Thanks Jackson
I have a verizon air card, good speed for the most part, can get online about anywhere i can get a signal on my phone, as soon as my contract is up I will be switching to sprint though they don't limit my bandwith, the price is the same for either one at $59.95.
Jackson, I've got a Macbook Pro as well and I also agree on the Verizon Air card. It's been working great for me.
Wifi at truckstops. SLOW speeds, insecure connections, frequent disconnects. About $35 per month Limited Use "Dial-up" from Sprint and Verizon Slow speeds, limit on bandwidth, secure connection About $40 per month Broadband from Sprint and Verizon Speeds up to 1.5 Mbs...OR MORE (depending on location) Sprint: TRUE "Unlimited" bandwidth Verizon: "Unlimited" limits you to 5gb per month About $60 per month
I have a Powerbook Titanium, and a MacBook Pro. I use a Sprint USB Stick, Novatel Ovation U727. I had use the genius bar at the Apple Store to set it up. It has never failed me since. I using now with my MacBook at this writing. Good luck!!
