one last note:
So far, I am 100% satisfied with the set up I purchased, I have a minimum of 4 bars without an auxilary atenna (and the laptop on wi-fi is running at 10meg per second). The Sprint Nextel service area is huge - perhaps every bit as big as Verizon (which is a dirty word to me for reasons of my own). The Cradlepoint is a top rated top of the line unit - you don't need that much, but I do have a laptop that we run wi-fi and the additional cost for the best was minimal. all attached computers both eithernet and wi-fi are high and wide as they say in CB talk and my Vonage phone service is great... all over this itty bitty Sierra Wireless wireless modem. It even has a port to plug in a 32GB memory chip... I have not figured out how to make it do the dishes yet... can anyone advise me on this aspect? LOL
If I sound like a commercial for these guys, I am not. I am just trying to advise everyone here what I have and what my experience is.
Long term reliability is the only area I can not currently speak to but I am willing to bet it is bettere than the hard wire service I have had... outages and downtime na dwhat call brown outs when the ISP's are jammed with traffic... I have had that with Verizon, AT&T and Charter cable - so far none of that with Sprint. I can speak to Vonage reliability - Very clear efficent service with never a problem for over a year now, and one consistant never changing monthly bill with no gimmicks - very straight forward.
So tht's my story and I'm sticking to it!
