<title>Verizon aircard</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23378440</link>
<description><![CDATA[said by uid://1680981   :I feel really bad for those living in true rural areas.
 I am ~3 miles from population ~30k people.  
Can't get DSL, too far away.  
Can't get cable, not wired out of town.  
Have never tried satellite.  
There might be a WISP available but it is questionable because we are down in a hole.   

We are living with a Verizon aircard.  5 Gb/month cap.  
If we were to use ONE extra Gb we would get charged $256.  
$0.25 x 1024 = $256.  

Sooo:
Weekly trip to the library to download MS Updates.  
RETURN trip if I didn't get the correct Updates.   :( 
MS doesn't make it simple.  It isn't hard, just tedious.  
I download VirusScan updates when I remember.  

Have used Dial-Up when we get close to run over.

<title>Wireless Line Of Sight 1 mile</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23305691</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am looking for some brands to look at other than the Motorola Canopy systems we have them on order for company use but I want to shoot s shot to our tent "living quarters" but I do not wish to spend 1100 for 1 AP and one SM. Can anyone give me some brands or models to do some research one to shoot a shot 1 mile or less that is on the cheap. We have clear line of sight just no canopy's since there so costly for personal use. If I was going to sell service that would be one thing but this is for 3 guys to have some internet while laying on there cots.]]></description>

<title>wireless broadband/pathping interpritation/packet loss help</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23401327</link>
<description><![CDATA[I currently live in a rural place where wireless broadband is my best option; however, I am about to abandon it altogether because of slow speed and timeouts. I am in desperate need of some help, my internet times out frequently and I don't know whats causing it. The technician at my wireless ISP told me its my router but I would like a 2nd opinion. I ran a few test including a pathping; unfortunately im to new at this and can't interpret it. I am just wanting to know if the latency is on their end or mine. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. Here are the test results

<title>Phone interferring?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23175148</link>
<description><![CDATA[We have an external parabolic dish, it's 900 mhz and our phone sometimes seems to interfere with the internet.  We have a DSL filter on our phone line but we still seem to get connection interruptions about 50% of the time the phone rings.  It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes we'll get a CI and 2 seconds later, the phone will ring.  Any thoughts/ideas on this issue?  Thanks! 

btw it was a cordless phone but it's not anymore and it still does it.]]></description>

<title>Wireless not a suitable replacement for wired broadband</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23233483</link>
<description><![CDATA[Folks, none of these wireless broadband services, perhaps with the exception of Clearwire if they get their act together, should ever really be considered a suitable replacement for wired broadband, or doing much beyond web page browsing and e-mail.  The occasional short YouTube video, if you are prepared to wait for it, is one thing, but I am very surprised to see people wasting their time and energy on peer to peer services, gaming, or downloading enormous files.  Trying to watch a Netflix movie off any of these services is ridiculous.  You are assuming capabilities mobile broadband really isn't well designed to provide for now.

Additionally, with a 5GB usage cap on virtually all of these plans, you'd blow through your usage allowance pretty rapidly.

For rural folks, I wish I had a better answer, because many of you don't have cable modem access, and DSL service from the phone company, if you can get it, is probably speed rated between 1 and 3Mbps.  It's why we fight so hard for better broadband service in this country.

When considering mobile broadband from Cricket, or anyone else, you should really expect to use the service for web browsing, e-mail, and light duty higher bandwidth services like short video clips and audio streams.  If your needs go beyond that, no wireless broadband provider is going to truly meet your requirements at this point.

<title>What&#x27;s wrong with my Wireless ISP?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23342081</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi i was hoping since the technicians at my Wireless ISP has not or aren't able to resolve this issue am experiencing for over a month now that the guys here might be able to give some help....The problem with my connection is that it cuts of or drops every 20mins or so round the clock everyday...I have 1 neighbor and 2 uncles that live like a stone throw away from me to the east and west of my home....All of us cut off the same time...it doesn't matter if we r using a wireless router cause i have 1 but my two uncles do not have any so i know that's not the problem..I did some basic troubleshooting like try different labtops.desktops to no avail but the thing is all of us disconnect at the same time and it stays down for like 3 mins then connect backs again.Then goes back down in the next 20mins exact.The problem is definitely on their end cause all 4 of us are affected at the exact same time..My isp is using the Motorola canopy systems and we r like 2 miles away from the broadcasting tower....We have contacted the technicians for my wireless ISP and seems like they can't resolve the problem.All they do is reset the connection but the issue still happens..Do u guys think u might be able to offer any suggestions based on your experience?]]></description>
