i am currently using a sprint USB stick for my internet. I really hate how there is almost never a signal. Is there a more dedicated internet source for a truck thats always moving?

something similar to the in motion satellite systems like the vuqube?

 

Yeah, I second your beef with Sprint but I can't give you information on what's better, sorry. I was pretty happy with Sprint when I was on the road thru Oct/11. I got back on the road Apr/12 and I'm wondering what happened to the signal. I-80 across PA there's nothing. Other places bite too. Anybody got anything that works?

 

i got a verizon mifi. expensive but great service.

 

if i am not mistaken, the verizon mifi utilizes the same technology as the sprint thingy i am using right now

i am curious if the technology exists to receive an internet signal via an in motion satellite.

I am going to take a look into RV dealers.

i basically want the same quality internet i have at home, but on the road and while i am in motion.

i figure if the likes of Directv or dish are able to send a signal down to a vuqube (or other similar device) for TV, they should be able to do the same for internet

 

The technology is available but you won't like the prices......lol

If you think Sprint is expensive, wait until you try the Hughes satelite internet thing. It has something like a 1meg per day limit and is far from cheap.

 

have the same trouble in New Zealand ,vodafones modems **** ,im changing to telecom they meant to be better,were our govt owned but sold off a few years ago now mainly own by outfits in america .they meant to be lots better here ,think around $nz40 for couple gigs a mth

 

I have the Verizon Droid X phone which is old tech now, costs an extra $20 a month to use it as Wifi, and have internet almost everywhere. It's a bit slow in 1X areas, but most populated areas have 3G service. Beats only having service when you're parked at a truck stop with free Wifi, or extremely slow service if you subscribe to a chain truck stop service. Verizon has service almost everywhere.

 

I switched to Verizon not long ago from Sprint. I bought one of the jetpack mobile internet. I'm not too happy with that thing at all. My phone (Droid RAZR) will have a perfect 4G connection and the hotspot will show 1 or 2 bars on a 2G. It drops signal all the time, too - a *LOT* more than the phone.

 

If you have a Sprint air card, you may want to do an update when you change locations. I was told by Sprint that it might solve a problem that I was having with my air card not long ago. A couple of days ago I could not get online and I tried the update of profile. It worked.
