Is Sprint MB an air card? I have verizon and am looking into an alternative to 'Wild Blue' at my pond in the boonies. I just got rid of directv and went with ATT Uverse to get phone, tv, and dsl all on phone line here in H-town. Not convinced about the phone over ip(actually, I am convinced that it sux), not always able to get HD on 2 TVs, etc.....but for about $130 for full bore TV, DSL and phone, not bad.
Anyway, I take only my laptop to Miss. and would like to get a decent aircard....but, verizon is marginal there on phone.
Mine is a 595U USB Modem and have a CradlePoint MBR1000 wireless router. You can get Sprint in an Air card if you like, but I am not making a suggestion.
My laptop is an HP N (something) 844 (something) and something after that, which makes it a workstation. I really don't need an ISP to pull something out of the air while travelling.
I needed it at one particular time, which came in handy. But the ON-Sale price tag of 2600.00 soon became a lesson. Not that it has any issues, and I needed something with XP Pro for my Allen-Bradley software. But another day or two and I could have picked up something for a fraction of the cost that would have fit the bill.
So you could consider that maybe 1800.00 could have gone to the Pond. Or other projects!
I really watch money now, and try to douse the (imaginary) 911 fires. Been there, played the game, and decided that if you have to take a nap! That should take precedence!
Too many people are up-tight and have fears. I try to knock down their fears, whenever, but that takes a long time.
