Re: [Mobile] Are there any un-caped mobile internets? Gaming, as far as actual gameplay is concerned, doesn't take up a ton of bandwidth. I'm not a gamer but from what I've gathered 100 kbps is a liberal estimate for gameplay, though downloading maps, updates, etc. might hurt you. For three hours you're looking at 100MB if that. Gaming isn't what'll kill you, though 5GB isn't much to work with.
If I might ask, who's the WiSP in question? Maybe you can work out a deal with them so they'll install service for you if you promise to limit usage until they get more bandwidth in. Maybe set a number at 10GB, and track it with a router flashed with DD-WRT or Tomato (you can get a Linksys WRT54GL for $60ish, versus more for a similarly functional EvDO router). Just a thought. |

@me1212 Not $250 anymore. Just $51 (5¢ per MB). Still ridiculously expensive, but not fatal.
@Tyler07 You'll need a router that can handle an EvDO card. »www.evdoinfo.com/ has info on that. Or Millenicom. Though the CreadlePoint routers are the standard for EvDO-to-WiFi at this point. |

You can hook your verizon up to a desktop or laptop and then send it out to your xbox. That is how I got my brothers setup now.
For a truely un-capped fixed wireless isp I would checkout accel-networks. It is a bit pricey, but I have had zero issues with them. ($149.00 per month). I use several gigs per month through them. |
