mobile internet
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? |

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 |

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.

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.
