Internet Access on the Road and at Home

[Dave Beatty]

The performance and coverage of the Verizon EVDO Broadband cell
Internet Service in Washington State is great. I use it in my home
when I am home and on the road when I am on the Road. At home the
performance is better than DSL with over 1000 download speed. On the
Road the worst I have seen is 144 download. The upload speed is
usually around 100 whether on the Road or at home. At home I hookup
my notebook with the EVDO PCMCIA Card to my home network and share
the connection with the other computers on my home network. I was
able to turnoff my Comcast internet service saving me $60 per month
thus my combine home/road internet is only costing me around $19 (
$79 - $60 ). When on the Road I am setting up a wifi access point
for BlueBird owners to share my connection via WiFi. I also use a
suction cup mounted external antenna to improve reception if needed
when on the road (usually not needed).

I really like the quick setup (none) when stopping for the night
since the connection is always online for a non-driver to use as we
travel down the hiway.

I did alot of study of dataStorm and databahn (went to Texas for a
$3000 class to become a certified installer of databahn) and my
conclusion is that the Verizon EVDO Cell Broadband is the best
solution for me.

Only real problem with the Verizon solution is that there is nothing
for me to sell to a client. You just go to Verizon and pickup your
card and turnoff your other network provider.
