Re: rural option
said by nnaarrnn  :I know what you mean. We use sprint EVDO cards with Kyocera routers as backup systems for a couple of our clients who have trouble with their T-1s staying up during heavy rain. It makes a great way for the credit card machines to still work, but there's a lot of traffic being passed for some people. Credit card machines? Then I assume your clients are businesses. Then they should get a business account with an SLA and the 5 GB limit should not be a problem.

| this is a point of sale system (indoor go kart track) with about 25 points of sale. it HAS to be over IP, and weekends, 20+ have to work. there is a T-1 line (2 actually) but they fail during heavy rain. The lines for them run through the sewer, and even though we've had verizon out to replace the lines, they still go out in bad storms. The movie theater right beside their building looses connectivity too. My company has 17 cell lines with sprint, and we added the EVDO card/router to our account, and resell it to the go kart track as backup for the Point of Sale system to contact whomever it contacts in Florida to verifiy the charges. |

no such thing as an SLA with any wireless setup. |

I should have said no such thing as a guarantee of SL with wireless. |

Jamaica, NY | There is no guarentee of a SL with any provider. SLAs are just a myth, you just get that month's charge free. They don't bring out people at 1 AM in the morning, and they don't reimburse you for lost wages/profits. |

Then they should get a business account with an SLA and the 5 GB limit should not be a problem. Credit card machines hardly need broadband. They work fine on 300bps dialup links. Just get an n-way line-sharing device and a POTS line or two. No need for uselss SLAs. |
