| Has anybody tried cellular internet? Is it worth it? Where I live broadband/dsl is not availible, so I am pretty much stuck with dial-up. |

I am, uh, testing, an older cellular card from work. 220 kbps(something like that). It is faster that dialup, but I am so used to DSL it seems slow. It relies on cell coverage, so you might want to somehow verify signal strength where you will be using it. Driving from Dayton, Oh to Ft Wayne, In I have a little trouble with coverage. We were off the main interstates also. But along most interstate highways I have had pretty good coverage. My house is in a dead zone for that cellular network, but I don't need it there. There are newer G3 cards, which are faster, but I haven't been able to 'secure' one of those yet. Hope this helps. eta: I will be testing it in Destin soon. I may try posting from the beach, if I am willing to risk the laptop. hmmmmm.  ByteTheBullet (-: |
