  1. EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized) 400-700 Kbps (but capable of 2.4Mbps) RF in space (wireless) Mobile telephone for business and personal use TMN's listing in the Connection Chart. $50 - $60 at three cards and then use the lowest figure in the chart 400Kbps X 3 = 1200Kbps, no router. use the highest (up to) 700Kbps X 3 = 2100Kbps.
  2. Probably the same reason Roco remembers this. Now why did I go XP Pro
  3. I really believe unitychild knows the price and you have stated it's the price your not willing to pay, why continue on this trying to convince unitychild? She has an advantage over you, she has tried both systems and likes what she has. The other user you are taking about is jeffwalker9999 and he said "Adverage Speeed(s) ** from hands on useage ** Download at 650 to 880 K Baud Upload at 175 to 290 K Baud Has a bad habbit of ping loss at 2nd hop and ping times of 220 ms to 1470 ms In general no major issues". Another voice from experience in actual use of the card. In my research it's said by using an exterior antenna you can increase your speed and works by getting the strongest signal possible. Be nice if Hughes worked that way but getting the strongest on sat means more stability.
  4. me too unitychild I'm with tommie tommie, do you have a ugly dish?
  5. tommie, Did you see earlier the older guys had Coknuck spinning around all confused didn't seem to know who posted what What's with that?
  6. Nice tommie, reminds me of my construction days
  7. I'm still curious about Sprint EVDO even with this :::.. Download Stats ..::: Download Connection is:: 1433 Kbps about 1.4 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 175 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (Server 1) Test Time:: 2007/02/10 - 8:54pm Bottom Line:: 25X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 5.85 sec Tested from a 2992 kB file and took 17.105 seconds to complete Download Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 35.83 % faster than the average for host (direcpc.com) D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-F9WN3YKPD User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 [!]
  8. I had set and ponder on this for a while . Then I remembered, [move]I never got into some else's underwear, wasn't nice [/move]
  9. kids, lets not get into that who's got the better toy here. I'm sure Hughes doesn't have this in there there fine print do they? And none of the providers can change things when it goes bad for them.
  10. Circulation must have got cut off
  11. Now I see why the little pictures along with the words, the expressions help to clarify and give the correct accent , gotcha. As for the 2K I had mine shipped to me, that got there in little canoe to cross creeks. For a big pond we use big canoe. And there is always the pigeon but won't work at meal time none left.
  12. Tommie it looks like part of that tent blew away or something, or is that the skirt? Do you store that in your closet??
  13. I hope I'm understanding you right, your English is a little different than what I'm used to (I use spell checker a lot) . I seem to like 2000 better than XP Pro that I both use and I think your right about the speed. Both I bought on eBay at a real good price, full installs. Not sure about the downloadable part.
  14. Private, I really don't know about proxy except what I see on the wall at my Dr's office. Try going to this site and do a little reading, I think you'll find a answer here http://www.dslreports.com/faq/satellite
  15. 4 hours, that would be somewhat strained at a Starbucks. As for pay online I think the first you log-in you would use your #. Do the cards have a # associated with them? Probably find out at sprintpcs.com.
  16. Thanks for the info. I have been checking my signal on my phone and its near the top outside. I'll probably go with an external antenna and run it outside. I'll research on making it direction for max reception since it correlates with the speed. My Hughey commitment is only a few months now.
  17. I think the extra $75 was the installer fee for being called in (by owner ?) to assist setup of the 7000. Private, you need to make sure all traces of the 4000 software are gone including in the registry. Remember many of these installers may not know about PC's as mine didn't. They won't do anything to your PC and they won't set up your network, only make sure you can get on-line.
  18. I think what they are wondering is with the 2 cards and the USB isn't that 3 lines a $59. 99 each? I just called Sprint and I was told I could get the WRT54G3G-ST for $199.99 and then the card deal you got (but only need one) and it has a port for an external antenna to boost signal. All PC's can connect through the router then, only one line.
  19. That would be good for the guy doing it. Its been a while now and Verizon still hasn't found a decent spot to call from.
  20. tommie, thats simple enough, drive an English car.
  21. More research on the EVDO. I called Sprint today and extended 2 years on my 4 line contract with a 5% discount dropping my monthly cost . I was then transferred 3 times until I got a engineer on EVDO. I'm in between 2 towers with a good overlap on the signal . The Linksys WRT54G3G-ST is $199.99 and a card is $199.99 with a $150 instant savings with anew line and the remainder is a mail-in rebate so cost for the card is 0 . $59.99 a month and he said the connection should be similar to a Starbucks, but I've never been there . Tommine you need a DW7000 tricked out my 7000 contract runs out soon.
  22. Nice choice for your birthday, glad to see you have good sense and /happy_bday.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':bday:' />:' /> whenever it is. At his age tommie you probably thought about GTO, how many pipes, speed and your probably right having problems with the drivers.
