Tmobile internet: I have their cellphone internet service as an experiment. It's REALLY slow at 19 kbps or so. But I connect to the phone through Bluetooth so it's extra geeky. But not very useful.
The bandwidth is much to slow for regular work. Checking email can take more than 20 minutes to pull down a few from the server (and no way can I do it in the morning with 100+ msgs). Checking traffic at Sigalert.com also takes too long. With slow loading times, I would be past a decision point (101 South or 134 to 5 South, etc.) before the map comes up. Web surfing at 20 kbps is very painful these days. In the 10 years of web site development, sites are now much more bandiwdth intensive than they were when 20 k modems ruled the web. -Mike http://www.wifi-toys.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of victor caballero Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 12:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SOCALWUG] Verizon Wireless Launches EV-DO in Major Metropolitan Areas 09/27/04 Is anyone using the T-Mobile Wireless Internet service. Much less expensive, $19.99 unlimited. I'm trying out Verizon CDMA Wireless Internet service and it works ok. Wondering how the two compare.

It sure beats using the Sprint Vison phone I'm using to send this message from my car.
