[TriLUG] Wireless Broadband

[Reginald Reed]

Rumor has it that 1xEV-DO is coming to the Triangle this summer.  I
just signed up for the service 9 days ago and have since tried the
Broadband access service in both Orlando and at a DFW airport
(terminal C from the AA lounge).  It is excellent.  The service
available in the Triangle now is 1xRTT and it certainly is slower, but
I still find it usable, even with an IPSEC tunnel riding on top of it.
 I have the Novatel V620 card with unlimited access.
