About $80 per month for a dynamic connection, similar to a 300/128 DSL connection with higher latency (200ms average vs 60-80ms for DSL)
Fairly reasonable if you travel or can't get DSL or cable (Lots of pockets in urban areas have this problem). Cheaper than ISDN dialup. Great for temporary areas (construction sites, etc)
Would I pay $80 for a GPRS or 1xRTT connection with low bandwidth and awful latency? Only as a last resort.
Would I pay $80 for a connection where I could drop my DSL / phone line ($50 / mo together) and not have to look around for a hotspot or an open wifi signal and not have to pay $10-15 in hotels + airports? That sounds much more appealing.
I think companies that reimburse their employees for internet service will be the first to jump on this. |
