Best Internet

ahh...10-4, that makes sense. thanks

 

If you get a droid smartphone, for an extra $20 Verizion will activate a feature on it, turning it into a portable router...just like the Mi-Fi, and give you additional data beyond what you get to download on your regular phoneplan.
One less device, one less contract...plus cheaper per megabyte than a separate device. It will kill the battery quicker, but just keep it plugged in or get an extra battery!
Some droid phones, like the Droid X has this ability.

 

You are Welcome here the offer ends the 16th of Jan

 

Just got my wife the Droid Incredible for Christmas....it too has the mobile hotspot feature. Pretty cool!

 

I have a Droid and there are hidden fees then it comes to useing it teathered to your computer they also told me that it is way slow also

 

I was curious about the "internet phones". Don't they require a higher tier subscription? It's only $20 extra to use it as a hotspot, but you're paying $50 / month for service before that? Plus the speed/connectivity issue wouldn't fit my, or the OPs needs.

 

Why do I get the feeling Dell is just ******* with me?

 

The MiFi that I got can be directly connected via USB (you can charge it that way as well) or be run wireless... not sure if you can run a second device through it while its connected - but when its wireless you are suppose to be able to run 5 different devices through it. Not that we have that many - LOL!

 

What I have been curious about is..does anyone have capable enough internet to play Warcraft in their truck? Surely there are some drivers out there that play, as I've seen sigs of their characters in their posts lol..like on a reset when you got plenty of thumb-twittle time.

And if you do..what do you have internet-wise that is allowing you to do that?

And I'm talking about when you are away from truck stop wifi and out in BFE.

 

I play Final Fantasy online. I've played it on Satellite internet and it was tolerable. I'm told there is no latency on mobile broadband like there is on satellite. I was even told online shooters will work fairly well on mobile broadband. That surprised me, but I don't think the rage inspired by Call of Duty is conducive to success in this industry.

Online gaming doesn't take much bandwidth and RPG type games are not heavily dependent on a fast connection. I think WoW would even run decently on dial up. The question comes back to coverage. According to their maps, Verizon has the best nation wide coverage hands down. I guess it depends on which BFE you're in.
