"Mobile Internet Broadband" via Verizon cell connection
I picked up a PCMCIA card from Verizon during
a presentation Verizon made at the Mariners game yesterday. This Notebook Card provides access for a retail cost of $79 per month to their new to the Seattle/Tacoma area EVDO Service. I have been testing the speed and it is great from my home in Federal Way. Download is over 1000 while upload is over 100. I am heading out today to a PNW Bird Retreat on the Pacific Coast. I will be testing as we travel and be giving a report for sure when I return. If the Broadband EVDO is not available, Verizon cell service has 2 level to throttle back to. 1) EVDO = 1000+ download 2) NationalAccess = 100+ download 3) Quick = 14 download The Quick is good enough for email and very painful surfing. Should be an interesting test. Verizon gave me 30 days free and the card which is available for $49 after rebates they also gave to me (plus 500+ over attendees to their Seattle rollout of the EVDO Service). __________________ Dave Beatty 83 FC35SB (BirdCage) Federal Way, Washington State |
