my sister just got one to use on my laptop she borrowed from me....her husband works in corpus christi and their house is in Baytown so she needed to go there and take care of him as he got sick the other day....so she got one of those cards for my laptop so she could have the net while she's there....she loves it....and that should tell you that it has coverage from Baytown to corpus with no problems......

I have a Sprint MI-Fi card if you are interested. If you want to check it out. Let me know before you buy. You can test it on your laptop or any wi-fi device you have. Any question, pm me.

i work with an @$$ hole who everytime i go on the net she would either unplug the modem or just unplug it from the wall, so i raither just get my own net and not to be bothered by her... but my laptop is one of those internet laptops, it only accepts usb style 3g card...

Well the cool thing about this is you just leave it in your pocket or bag. Most newer laptop have built in wireless modem. You can have up to 5 connection on this device. So if you and your friend are around you can let them in and surf away. No plugging in and having a stick hanging out.

There is a 5 gig limit on data usage a month so streaming vids is out of the question =) LMK if you guys have any Sprint related questions.

To be honest, the broadband that is offer by wireless carrier at the moment is mainly for business. Unless you are in a remote area where cable, sat., or dsl does not exist or cost way too much. What are you plan to use it for?

at work, i am allowed to bring in my laptop and use it to kill time, my boss trust me with it, but theres an @$$ up infront that loves to unplug the internet whenever i try to log on... since i am quiting pretty soon, i see no point in aruging with her and i will just get my own connection, but anyways, if those mifi connection are good, i just might cancle my service with att dsl...
