Replacing home DSL with mobile internet ?

[Cd]

Thanks for that tip Snax. My phone is hooked up to a filter at all times. I have around 4-5 jacks in my home, but only have the filter on the one which the phone is hooked to.
ATT told me that this is fine and will not affect anything.
My current speeds at the moment are 470 kbps download and 327 upload. I'm paying for 1.5 Mbps.
I had a technician that said I can't get better than the 470 / 327 because my signal is too "weak". Thing is is that I'm not using wireless, and I live right next to Dell computer and Samsung.
Sounds like BS to me !

It would have been cool if it had become possible to watch movies on an iPhone.

Cd, I put a filter on the phone, the DishNetwork receiver, my fax machine too! This reminds me, I think I forgot a phone. I really appreciate Snax' inputs, I think I will file that in my computer tips book so I can dig it up each time I move. My neighbors just moved in, and this will probably be useful to them too. I like the completely separate line idea, I just cannot do that in the house I am renting.

I currently use an air card, which is like a cell phone, but no voice capability at all. Plugs into the USB port on my laptop. My current plan is about $60 per mo, I get good signal at home and at work. In my region (three states, more or less) I get unlimited download/upload/data. Stability has been pretty good. It drops out perhaps twice a week. I use it 10 hrs per day for work, and >8 hrs/day overnight to get my podcast stuff for the Ipod. Lots and lots and lots of data.

The big drawback is speed. It's noticeably faster than my dialup, but slower than any other kind of high speed. Youtube takes 3x to 4x the time to download. So, 4 minute video = 12 minute download.

It works for me, maybe not for you, as no voice unless you do skype or something. Probably too slow for that.

Finest regards,
