Re: alltel
thanks for your advice, but I'm curious.. I didn't get a modem from them , I ordered a USB antenna which works in my desktop and laptop. No phones involved. - or should there be??

| You actually got the usb modem. You dont need a phone to get evdo. Unless you wanted the monthly fee to be $25 but if alltel isn't you current cell provider then there really isnt any advantage. its just cheaper for most ppl to add a second line get the razor which is free from most alltel locations now and teather it a desktop/notebook or share the connection via the K1 or other routers. All in all it would be about $34 a month ($9 second line and $25 for internet)
But if you have cell service with another company then your probably better off the way you currently are.
Also just as a heads up. If you seeing speeds aroud 600-700 a booster ant wont do you much good unless you keep droping a connection.
Real world evdo speeds are around 600. Burstable upto 2.5. But it also depends on how many ppl are connected to the same tower as you. |
