Re: [CGUYS] wireless broadband
If she is going to use a laptop then check this out: http://www.virginmobileusa.com/mobile-broadband It is pay as you go. Or as you consume it. No contract. Pay only for what and when. I have read that this is utilizing the Sprint network though it is sold as Virgin mobile. For any who might be interested I became aware of this from this page: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13845_3-10470636-58.html?tag=mncol;title Jim On Mar 20, 2010, at 2:24 PM, Stephen Brownfield wrote: > My wife was looking at possibly getting wireless broadband from Sprint (her > cell phone provider) for a trip this summer.

Re: [CGUYS] wireless broadband
Reverse it. 5 GB of usage, downloads and data usage. Any transfer to your computer (Even reading the cloud stuff) is considered a download. 300 MB uploads. Any time you interact with the web you have downloads and uploads.

[CGUYS] wireless broadband
My wife was looking at possibly getting wireless broadband from Sprint (her cell phone provider) for a trip this summer. She started to ask me about what was meant by 5GB of usage a month. I went to the web site and it stated "5GB/300MB off-network roaming per month" I assume that this means 5GB of upload and 300MB of download per month. If I am correct this should be fine for her. She is basically doing email (in the cloud) and surfing the web. She doesn't upload or download a lot of files. Am I correct? What should she be looking at it?
