tommie gorman Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 Did someone say rednecks and smartasses? Anyway yes I use the USB U720 model sith sprint service. $59.95 presently. And for me way better than satelite. The upload is decent also. I get up to 600, and no bouncing off of sats for internet. Cell phone waves.

compuguybna Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 I might look into that...... I have an AT&T cell phone, and sometimes the signal isn't good here (rural area). I dont have to get a Sprint phone, right? I can just get their USB modem and sign up for their data service? One more question.....What's the monthly CAP? Its 12.5gb month for Hughes.

tommie gorman Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 Yeah, I kept hunting till something arrived, and those who leave Hughes usually get EVDO is all. Never know what tomorrow holds. Best of luck. I was actually temted to T1 once, but those payments was all it took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 A note on "knowing" your speeds, after a while using a fast connection regular, you do get the feel for it, I have tested here so much that I can honestly say that while watching the progress bar during the test, I can usually come within 500Mb before the test is complete. When normally surfing, I can tell when there's an increase, pr decrease in my speed. I'm on TWC 15/7 which for what I do, and what I have here is great , other then the upload of course that whole thing is a scam if you ask me. The damn upload should match the download. But either way, when a page doesn't simply appear in less then the blink of an eye, I know there's an issue. So all I'm saying is from where I sit, it is possible to know what your speed is after a while. I will attest to that. Now I'm not on dsl, but I have been, and the connection was very stale and reliable. :::..

compuguybna Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 You are EXACTLY RIGHT ! ! ! When using the connection you have, you have a pretty good idea of what speed you're running at. And you're right, if a webpage I know should be loading fast doesn't come in at the blink of an eye, I know something's wrong. Thanks for the analogy!
