Wi fi

I didn't vote because I use 2 interfaces ... EVDO and Wi-Fi for backup when EVDO isn't present.

I have found that there's a device made by Airlink (Internet in Motion sells it) that is much more robust than consumer EVDO aircards. It uses a full 3 watts of power to receive cellular broadcasts. I have gotten rave reviews from the users ... in areas that were heavily wooded and VERY rural ... the connection was 100 percent. No drops at all. I just don't have 1400 dollars to spend on Internet hardware ... :-(

GPRS at the mo.... waiting for the N96 then its HSPDA ( or HSPUA if its a feature ). Problem here is that where I live 3G is naff any way so its a bit of a loose loose situation.

Same here but the opposite way around, wireless if I can get it but HDSPA if I cant.

Wi-Fi but usually only from home, work or at friends, as long as it's free

Wifi at home, umts on the move. The internetconnection indicator can't cope with that btw...

I just use internet when in my driveway or in my garage. Sometimes I will find places with free wifi if I need to check emails or something.


I would like to tether to a GSM phone but I really cant justify to pay much for it since I wouldnt use it a whole lot. I might get internet next time I upgrade my phone depending on the cost.

Why do we need mobile internet anyways??? For reading an occasional e-mail and watching youtube!
That's what interests me more: who has a really good reason (plugin) for using the net. (streaming webcam to the wife while she's in the kitchen and you are driving home is quite funny. But I don't know if it's an advantage...)
