Well i have a laptop and am sick and tired of looking for "hotspots" to use my Wi-fi.
I heard that Verizon and Sprint have these PC cards that u attach that allow you to have mobile broadband.
Something like this http://powervision.sprint.com/mobilebroadband/
What i want to know is how fast are they compared to Cable. Of course the speed and rate of Download will be variable as to where u are and how much signal u have, but i want to know the average.
Also, how exactly does it work? Does my cellphone need to be nearby? Is it completely unrelated to my cellphone? What can i do using this service?
Can i download music? Can i download movies? Or is that not allowed using this service.
Also, are there any other mobile broadband options out there besides this phone pc card thingy. Thank you.
