Sorry Ed, Don't want to be a hater. Just really believe in customer service and well, being kind and offering a good product or service. Umm AT&T ain't on that list for me. I have become disillusioned with Verizon as well. And since I will be traveling over seas more often Verizon and my large

We switched our home connections to UVerse (from Insight) about three weeks ago, and it's been a mixed bag. On the one hand, we're saving a little money. The internet connection speed is about the same as it was with Insight. They claim a 17 Mb download speed for our level of service; we usually

I was going to say MacGroup article. By the way I also have AT& T and not sure if it was a step up or a step down especially here in my garage when you could really see the times flucuate in reception.  Anyway speaking of Apple I had one from back to the Mac Plus even though I was dying for an

Hi All, I really appreciate everyone's input. Does anyone have Dish Network or Direct TV? Do either of them cover computer as well as phone? My Insight connections are fairly stable. It's just the price that horrifies me. Their entry price for new customers is $90 a month (half price). If t

Ed, The article talks about several versions of the MiFi box, which sounds to me like you would have to have one for each network to be sure you had coverage. Is this correct thinking? May has well have a slot card or USB card if this be the case, other than more than one device could connect
