Wireless Broadband Update
It's been a while since I've commented on my Verizon Broadband Access.
I've been using it since October mainly because the client will not allow consultant laptops to connect to their LAN.
Overall, the Verizon experience has been good. There are times when Broadband Access is available but the client would only connect to National Access, which is the slower 1xRXX service that operates at 60-80kbs.
I've enclosed a screenshot of my download speed during a recent software download. It was about 1.3mbs.
The service became very important several weeks ago when my client insisted that they had not received my invoice for payment. I was able to logon and resend the invoice during an airport stop which kept cash flowing.
At $80/month, it seemed a bit steep in the beginning, but I can use this card almost anywhere. I've used it so far in Washington DC, Fairfax, VA, Atlanta GA, Cinncinnati, OH, and in Orlando, FL.
I highly recommend the service to anyone.
