[THE-COPS]

boredandtatooed.... Video or it didn't happen. I'd like to see someone try and pull all that off without a single hiccup in speed or connection problems. Downloading torrents and watching a movie plus browsing the web, hah, even cable slows down with THAT much going on. And btw, in case you forgot, 3G isn't cable. You've also got to remember that there are thousands of other people around your area that are also connected on the same network. Granted, you can get good quality speeds, but NOT consistently. I'm not flaming you, I just don't believe all that is possible on a wireless phone network, and over Wifi.

I'm in the same boat as the original poster here. There is NO DSL, no cable available where I live. No FIOS.. yeah I wish. Hughesnet is a f****n joke. Sorry, but I heard way too much bulls*** about them and their sorry ass service and bandwidth restrictions. They've got caps on their bandwidth worse than Verizon and Sprint. It's not worth it. This is coming from a guy who has been stuck on slow ass dial-up for years. It was a godsend when I got my Moto Q9M back in 07. I finally could cancel my dial-up crap I had since April of '99. It was only 800kbps and often I only got 400kbps. But hell, it was way better than a 40kbps connection. Now I have the TP2 and I get an average of 600kbps to 1.4Mbps. I am very happy with that. I can watch youtube videos and download programs in a flash, instead of sitting there and waiting forever for a 5MB file.

Not everyone has access to cable or T1/T3 LAN connections. Don't take it the wrong way, but I think people like you are bandwidth spoiled. You always had a super fast connection. You download 500MB - 1GB movies in no time. Your connection has always been your highesty priority. Anything a pinch slower and it's too slow for you. You are so used to getting the gigantic stuff in a blink of the eye. Like I said, I am happy with my EVDO Rev.A connection. I could never go back to dial-up. It would be hell because even a basic web page these days contains some form of flash or bandwidth hogging ad... or even a Java feature on the site itself. Dial-up woud be torture now.

Btw, I'm using HTC Wifi Router. I have internet on my Windows XP system using a Wifi dongle thing that plugs into the USB port. Sets up in a flash. And, I paid $0 for that app. Only thing else I pay for is my data service through VZW.

I don't know how the hell you are getting away with uusing 30-40GB of bandwidth on a data plan. I can't beieve Sprint hasn't billed you or cut off your account. 40GB? BOOOOM! Don't be surprised if you get a $20,000 cell phone bill sometime lol
