I should be getting a flat panel antenna in the mail this week. I plan on mounting in my attic (2 story house on a hill) and see if I can get the signal strength into the -80db's consistantly. That should help speed things up and reduce latency too.

And I am generally connected through a VPN, that probably slows things down somewhat too.

Will keep you posted ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19819944 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 12:39:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19802417 anon : pings are not stable. I play WoW, and WoW, in particular, seems to hate Mobile Broadband. That is why we're getting and ISDN line to supplement our Mobile broadband card - MB for high-bandwidth needs, ISDN for low-latency needs. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19802417 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 22:27:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19798518 fozngoof : How about for gaming. Have you had any experience with it yet?

Stability of ping would be the main thing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19798518 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:36:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19788867 mark42 : Got the card and Linksys mobile router. All set up. Get varying resulsts, but gennerally download speeds are 800-1200Kbps and upload are 200-500Kbps. Like right now I'm on the internet posting and searching, while my daughter is playing videogames on kiddie sites while my son is wasting his life watching video on youtube.

So I'd have to say it is a success.

Next month I'll be selling my Cisco ISDN modems (one was used for two years, the other is new in box as backup, but never needed) If you interested, email me at mjmullen4@yahoo.com]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19788867 Sat, 12 Jan 2008 19:34:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19760408 mark42 : I went ahead and ordered the Sprint Mobile Broadband service and mobile router. Depending on how much signal I can get, I might add an antenna in the attic.

Checked on my order this morning, and UPS has it out for delivery, so I should be playing with it tonight when I get home.

Keeping my fingers crossed! ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19760408 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 10:19:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19537975 pkranger63 : I was in your shoes about 6 months ago. I switched from ISDN to sprint mobile and have been very pleased to far. I average download speed of 1100kbps and upload of 400kbps. Ping times are not on par with ISDN however. On some game servers I can get a 110ms ping but this will fluctuate. I can play WOW and other mmorpgs just fine. It has also proved to be very reliable so far. Hope this helps.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19537975 Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:08:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19428280 Squidii : I have an aircard 875 from ATT ( cingular ) and I classify it like satellite. You are not really on the internet, although, you can look at some webpages and stuff.

If you have good HSPDA signal ( which I do in town, but not at my house ), you can manage to get some bandwidth ( whatever they advertise, I don't remember what it was specifically, 1.5-3mb down ), but the connection is very jittery and bursty. Sometimes you click on a webpage and it hangs, click on it again and the it loads instantaneously. Ping tests revealed 100-150ms, with spikes up to 1000ms, and some varying amount of packet loss.

In short. Can't play games, you can use it for VNC/RDP, you can use it for vpn access to file at work. Trying to ssh/telnet over it sucks. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19428280 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:38:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19427026 fozngoof : AT&T's 3g service should be like true broadband. Although it has a limited coverage area.

I have a friend who is curious to see how the latency is on the cellular networks. Please post if you have any experience.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19427026 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 01:12:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19408356 Hel_child : what little i have used it is no better then dial up. Not sure if the elements have anything to do with it, but should work just as a Cell phone dose. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19408356 Thu, 08 Nov 2007 18:23:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19401438 mark42 : I'm thinking of getting a mobil broadband card and wireless router from Sprint and use it as the main internet connection in the house.

Anyone done this? Is it faster than the ISDN? Reliable? How about performance in rain and snow storms? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19401438 Wed, 07 Nov 2007 17:17:37 EDT
