Re: No pain, no pair gain?

Hello Charlie,


Ok, a couple of other options. Verizon Wireless offers a wireless internet connection, say about half as fast of DSL, for $80 a month. Useful if you don't get DSL or Cable, and very portable for a road warrior.


$80 is not bad at all. I wonder how they break even with their kb/sec versus Dollar factor there. The wireless web services I had seen so far were all quite limited. You had x MB download volume and after that it cost big bucks.

Unfortunately when you can't get cable and DSL it usually means a more rural setting, like here. Cell phone converage become somewhat realiable only a short time ago. Still, here in the house I only get about two bars.


For cels, we have a couple of verizon wireless phones (one of which I need to cancel) and a new Virgin Mobile like you have.


If those phones just weren't so tiny. My Nokia 2115 is only 4" long, the ad had said 5". But its mike still catches my voice for some reason.

Regards, Joerg
