Redifining Mobile Broadband
On my way down to the conference, I was traveling with some co-workers. Aaron, who does a lot of our networking stuff for clients decided that he would make a mobile hotspot out of the car. I was unsure of how well it would work, but I was interested, especially since I had a bunch of work that needed to get done and that required the internet.
He configured internet connection sharing on a windows laptop and connected that to a wifi router. This he set up with the standard settings, wpa encryption, and such. In no time we were on the net. We use Alltell for our mobile broadband and I was quite pleased with it. From Rexburg, Idaho to Sandy, Utah, we had a continuous connection. About half of the time we were going at only 12KBps, but the other half we were going 150+KBps. I was very happy about the performance, especially since my other cell provider was spotty.
