Chris, It wasn't the technology. That was a mixed bag. It was good for some people, not so good for others. It was administrative I think. Like I said. I don't remember for sure I just think that cell carriers ( I prefer Verizon) is a better choice except for people like KBob... >>> Chr

Bob, I know that when they first switched to the new MiFi devices, there were lots of problems. Personally, I couldn't log into Gmail or Google's chat function, at all. However, if I first connected to the UO VPN, then it worked fine. I believe it was queuing sizes in packet window sizes. How

If you have the option for a land based connection (cable/DSL) then keep it. Wireless to every degree SUCKS. It is only good when it works well. If wireless is all you can get then you have my sympathy. If wireless is what you choose then you don't have my sympathy. That be all, Mr O. FWIW, Co

Verizon's MiFi works right here AT my house. In fact, I'm using it right now. AT&T does not have any cell towers within ten miles of here. It is pretty expensive, though. $10/gigabyte. I just keep telling myself it's cheaper than moving back to San Jose. (-: On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 3:15 PM,

We used to resell ClearWire. They were great. Something changed, I don't remember what and now we won't. I've been recommending Verizon. They have a hotspot thingy that works almost all the way out by KBob's house. AT&T might have something similar. It's close to the same price as ClearW

I've used Clearwire, now Clear, for over two years with no issues whatsoever. When they did the 4G upgrade last fall they sent me a modem, I plugged it into my router and it worked. It's spendier per mb than anything else, but it's a)portable, b)slightly less evil than Suckcast and Qworst, and c)n

I use it as a semi portable network connection. Latency is usually decent and, after the recent upgrade, bandwidth has been fairly stable. Their support sucks. I mean it **really** sucks. I was having problems upstream. Three to four hops upstream, and they kept having me reboot my modem. And d
