I hope not. If I should look at cell phones to see the future of communications, then we are headed back to the dark ages.

My cell phone fails to work at the one location I would most like it to work -- my home. And it isn't just a tiny hole in the coverage area. I need to drive 5 miles to find a reliable cell signal.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11757949 Tue, 02 Nov 2004 18:00:33 EDT Re: Who gives a shit about wireless http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11756798 anon : Hrmn, considering that wireless is the future of communications (look at cell phones) i'd be investing in wireless technology like intel instead of 'not giving a shit' like this short-sighted loser ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11756798 Tue, 02 Nov 2004 15:56:36 EDT Re: Who gives a shit about wireless http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11705436 evdo9 : Ok.. no more fighting on evdo vs. wifi... they are now compatible... or better said... complementary... you can now do evdo sharing over wifi using a small converter router...

If I was mobile, and had 'good' connectivity at home, I'd be using a datacard or tethered phone. At home, my 26.95 dsl (1500/256) is cheap, and at work, my DS-3 (12 users) is damn fast

I run about 40 megs a day over it on verizon and pay less then $75 a month. But I also have company phones threw verizon as well.

I use sprint and Verizon for work , depending on the area. 15 k a sec down usually on the verizon network. And latency at about 400 ms.

Like you said its not a broadband replacement. But is invaluable when your mobile to be able to vpn to work and fix issues remotely while you are on the side of the road. I do it and leave them run almost all day 12 hours a day depending on where I am going. Not to mention the internal Im services to save on cellular minutes :)

Wireless connection would be fine with me. Now I also like to game so I'd LIKE to have something lower than 500ms, I get about 250-900 depending, and that is over 56k!

If anything like that was out here I'd get it, but yes truly ment for field use.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11569499 Tue, 12 Oct 2004 18:07:06 EDT Re: Who gives a shit about wireless http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11567996 Estragon :

Maybe they should be working on fiber, but it's going to take at least 20 years to roll it out. What should we use in the meantime?

Those of us in dialup hell would kill for 500 down 100 up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11567996 Tue, 12 Oct 2004 15:23:55 EDT Good info http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11567494 anon : Yep, Fiber all the way!

I commute to NYC every day on the train ( 1hour each way) and get a ton of work done on my commute. It is worth every penny. Also have connectivity in airports and hotels when I travel. This also has saved me a ton of money versus dishing out $10/day in hotel rooms for Internet access.

People, this isn't to replace DSL or Cable for the home user it is for those that are mobile and need wireless connectivity in the field.

All in all, I am very happy with the service.
