The only thing "unlimited" is the lengths some carriers will go to in their efforts to mislead the public. I won't name names, but we know who they are.
I meant, is there a monthly limit. I've heard there may be a 1GB limit before they kick you, or some such.
That goes without saying.
The difference is what the lengths are. Without names it's hard to make a decision. ;-)
When one doesn't have cable available, even from the (much worse than AT&T) cable franchise?

No idea. At that speed it would take a long time to get up to a gigabyte.

I'm sure I could do it, as my only connection. As a mobile and backup, agreed, not likely.
...OK; what provider, what is the rate, and is the reception as bad as CLEAR or Cell phone (if so, then it ain't gonna work nevermind i am "in" Portland OR - i am in the boonies of it).
Meaning $39/mo in addition to POTS; about the same as getting DSL (not counting taxes and fees).
Did not know that, but it is a moot point with no in/out calling capability.
Just as well, since cell phones (and WiNet) do not work here (at the house, anyway...walk 200 feet to the street and all is OK).
Been only 8 months, and you already f***ed it up again.
I wish it were as cheap as that--for two BBs and three other phones for the family, it comes in around $250. On the other hand, you also get Web and email on your BB.

Use a cell phone or perhaps MagicJack, Vonage, or such.
This NG has been around this block before. He has the line he has and pays the rates he gets. For a worthwhile question, can Robert read fast enough to make download a whole days worth of NNTP and such worthwhile? Or does he read (and write) slow enough that a 2400 baud modem can keep up with him? Using the web, bawg, almost all websites have so much bloat in them that they require a DSL line.
Odd, my current cell phone is full duplex. Ones from 20 years ago might not have been, conference phones are definitely modal.
Renew that plan for as long as you can, retroactively, that price is going away.
Yep, every damn one of them.
It is possible, for some price, to get megibit/s mobile service throughout most of the urbanized US and Europe. Is that high speed enough for you?
I think it depends on the connection. Perhaps it depends on how jammed the tower is and how many calls they're compressing into the channel.
