Moving day- I love 3G

Moving_dayThe big moving day is here at Mobile Tech Manor and everything (mostly everything) is packed in its little box for moving to the new place.  I am waiting for the movers to show up and start hauling everything away.  I will not have broadband at the new place until Monday but with EVDO available I am not sweating that at all.  In moves past not having broadband for a few days was a show stopper but not with EVDO.  I have my ExpressCard modem which works in every laptop I use so I am not concerned about the lack of broadband at all.  That’s a big step forward and yet another reason to sing the praises of 3G.  Wish me luck with the move.  :)

  • I remember last year when we moved, the EVDO sprint phone saved my bum. ATT was to have moved my service pronto from home 1 to home 2, THREE BLOCKS AWAY. Needless to say, it was done wrong and it took THREE WEEKS of 20+ hours of calling to get it fixed.

    I hooked up the EVDO to a desktop, and then shared the EVDO connection with the ETHERNET on the desktop which just run back upstream to my home WIFI/ROUTER so ALL SERVICES were supported and restored. Slingbox worked fine, all other wireless devices dependent on a connection through the home connection worked like a charm.

    EVDO + ICS is love for ALL

  • I own a business with two stores and internet access is crucial. 3G is a lifesaver. My home office internet is Time Warner and when it goes down, the company will not admit it it an outage. Prior to 3G if I were without internet for 2-3 days I would panic, now it is no big deal.

    Similarly I cannot afford to have Internet go out at either shop. Having 3G as a backup has prevented some significant losses.

  • Living in an apartment complex with Verizon FIOS was an absolute headache, week long outages at a time it seemed like. Needless to say I had a Verizon BlackBerry with EVDO to save the day. To get a very long story short, FIOS got the boot, sad to say but I just couldn’t take it anymore.

    Just as an sidenote, I found your site from the HP dragon giveaway and have been loving the content, keep it up!
