Re: 250 MB / Month??? said by Steve Mehs:Where do you people get the notion the world is covered with free wifi? I had a wifi only tablet for 2 days before I got sick of it and took it back. And just because you are within wifi range doesn’t means it’s a good connection. Last month I took a weekend road trip into Ohio. Both hotels we stayed at offered free wifi. At the Quality Inn, it was a pathetic sub-1Mb connection, at the Comfort Inn it was slightly better, but not much. In both areas I was able to connect to Sprints wimax network with my tablet and get about 10Mb downstream. I’m on a 3GB data plan and typically use about 2GB worth of data a month on the tablet. The Evo View will be my road tablet, for home use I’m strongly considering getting Sony’s new Xperia S tablet for it’s integration capabilities with home theater gear.
So then use your cell phone as a mobile hotspot. Also what makes you think any area you are in is going to have at&t LTE? I don't have any within 40 miles of me. And that that I do have at 40 miles is at&t's fake 4G. |

join:2005-07-16 | I don’t want to tether my phone. I want devices to have their own independent data connections. And besides, in my situation with Sprint, my phone is LTE not Wimax. With limited LTE coverage at this time, the best I could do is 3G if I tethered. My tablet has built in wimax allowing much faster access in areas that have coverage. And before anyone says it, yes I know that Sprint stopped launching wimax, coverage is limited, but there are quite a few areas where it’s ‘unofficially launched’.
