Does anyone on the newsgroup know how the EDGE network compares with
1xRTT with Verizon Wireless? How is the latency? I know on Verizon's
network, it was about 1/2 second (500ms) to the first hop after doing
a traceroute anywhere.
Also, anyone use a PCMCIA card, as opposed to a data cable on a phone?
Any advantages, besides it being a PCMCIA card? I'm wondering if its
better to buy a phone without a contract, and just upgrade my service
(My Nokia 1100 doesn't seem to be able to be tethered to a laptop.
Any help would be appreciated. I travel between Hartford, CT and
Boston, MA.
