kudos:3 | I agree with you in your post on all accounts.
I have a sprint connection card and love it. It saves me a lot of money when I travel over the (as some would call it) "criminal" $10 a day internet fees for a heavily shared, under powered WiFi connection that barely pushes 256k.
I get 5gb, loose, on Sprint. (actually, I'm still not yet affected by the caps they imposed on people) I surf pretty heavily when I'm gone.. I do typical email, surfing, PcAnywhere, even watch youtube and stream my sling box.. still don't come close to the 5gb.
And, like you, I prefer having a card to insert instead of it being built in. I can use my card on any computer, and do, and have a portable router for sharing. At home, I have Cable and DSL both for redundancy. I'm killing the DSL since cable has been pretty stable for me. However, IF the cable goes out, I still have a back up that I'm already paying for.
Personally, for me, THIS set up works. The way we all use the internet is totally customized to our own needs.. there is no one way it works for everyone when it comes to connection. |
