My New Wireless setup GPRS/EDGE

Recommended Posts

Haven't been around here for a while but I thought i would drop in to talk about my new toy.

 

I bought a Sony Ericsson GC-83 card off of ebay for $150 and go an unlimited data plan from ny local wireless provider (Unicel) and now I have internet on my laptop every where that there is GSM cell service.

 

I have to say that it works quite well. Max speed is 240kbps which translates to 30K downloads tops. Actual performance is a constant 110kbs which is about like old ISDN speed. So all in all not that fast but it means i am connected to the internet from just about anywhere. BTW the unlimited data is $75 a month. If i didn't live in the middle of nowhere I could get t-mobile unlimited data for $50 a month. Anyhow i thought i would tell you all about it because i bet some of you didn't even know that it was such a viable and affordable option.

 

I can't wait to test it in a better service area i bet i will get just abou top speed all the time.
