Not having to worry about how much I use per month is what having internet access is all about. Same thing with data access with my current cell phone providers(T-mobile, Sprint), I want as much as I use for a flat rate. Period. Sprint's PowerVision TV uses LOTS of bandwidth..but their basic package is $15.00 a month and this also includes Web 2.0 access. T-Mobile's $19.95 access includes their HotSpot WiFi service-great for tak'in my laptop while enjoying a good cup of coffee. Not to mention that iPhone/iTouch folks will be using T-Mobile's HotSpot for iTunes music. I also enjoy ATT's WiFi because I have their "elite" DSL service-rather a nice perk, eh? Have no problem pay'in the monthly rate. Those folks in Canada can't get an iPhone with a data package like ATT's...because their cellular companies charge per kB used. Screw that!  |
