As you might know, I run Tiger on my Pismo. I am moving to an uber
rural location soon and one major candidates for broadband access is:
datajack. Datajack needs to confirm their coverage map covers our
location - but they suggest it will work. Problem: their web site
shows that their equip will work with any intel Mac. I have no intel
Macs. Checking their download page, they mention Leopard and Snow
Leopard. Calling their customer service, one of their people said that
he personally hooked up the Datajack usb modem to his friends non-
intel Mac and it worked fine. When I asked which OS, I was told, "I
don't know. Just buy the latest OS and you'll be fine."
*sigh*
Do any of you have any thoughts on whether I could get my Pismo
running Tiger to hook up to DataJack services? I'm so lost on how
this all works. It doesn't seem reasonable to me to believe that I
need a certain OS to make a broadband connection work - but I've been
wrong before, of course.
Thoughts?
PS: I don't wanna buy an intel mac, nor Snow Leopard.
PPS: Second runner up to Datajack is Millenicom but they're much more
expensive. Third runner up is Verizon, who offers excellent coverage /
signal, but high prices and long contracts.
Further to my previous post:
"Shaw currently offers download speeds up to 100 megabits per second in
Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. The service isn't cheap, though,
costing $150 a month. In Japan, 160-megabit connections sell for around
$60 a month while 120-megabit speeds can be had in parts of Europe for
about $100.
