Unlimited internet access otr in cab recs
Any recs on unlimited internet access in cab that is not unbearably slow for us internet fiends who will spend every load waiting moment online? Sprint unlimited is one but heard the speed is painful. Thanks

I used Sprint when I was OTR. It depended on where you was at and if they had 3G (high speed) access or not. On a 3g connection, the speed is comparable to DSL. When not on 3g, it averaged about 15k/sec download speed.
The more population in the area you're at, the better the chance they'll have 3g. |
There are only 2 options that are viable. Sprint, and Huges Net.
Sprint: Pros: Cheap Portable Works nearly anywhere Descent Speeds Cons: Can be painfully slow at times There are dead spots Currently a 5gb a month limit Huges Net: Pros: Works everywhere Cons: Very expensive Hardware installation required (satellite dish, and modem) Speed is not very good And that is it. Yes other carriers have internet cards or internet capable phones, but none of them match sprint for speed, and nearly all of them have capped monthly limits just like sprint as well. Sprint should be rolling out WiMax technology soon, which will really up the speed, from 2mbps to 10mbps (In download speed that is roughly 150KBps vs 2.25MBps, which is faster then most in home cable modems.) |
While doing a little research on mobile broadband after reading this post and making my own, I came across this interesting passage on a wikipedia page:

I have an unlimited data plan for my Blackberry, and have not had Sprint placing any restrictions on my data usage. |

I went over the 5gb cap one time in 2 years. They sent me a warning letter about it and that was it. Unless you're watching streaming video, you won't have a problem. Normally I was averaging right around 1gb per month total transfer (in & out).

I use AT&T and for the most part I'm happy with it. But of course I also remember the days when modems were 300 baud and used acoustical couplers for the phone.
