Re: sbb direct is being discontinued in san jose as of 7/31/08
I just got my walking papers from Sprint also. Seems like they are also shutting down the Detroit area.
I called Sprint and after being transferred six times, I finely got thru to someone who told me a cable was better than EVDO, and mentioned that that is what he had at home.
What I liked about SBBD was the lack of extra taxes and fees. With EVDO you have all the taxes associated with another phone line. Why should I pay a 911 fee on my internet connection? With Comcast I have to pay a franchise fee, to allow the city to produce their left wing propaganda.
I only had problems once with SBBD and some guy drove down from Lansing, replaced all the equipment, antenna and modem, for no charge. I liked the service.
At the local Sprint Store I saw a data card plugged into a linksys router/wifi box, it looked like a nice simple solution.
With EVDO is the connection always on, or do you have to wait for it to make a connection, like the internet connection on a phone has to, (Dialing 777 ...)? |
