I have a US cellular wireless modem. Connection speed is a crap shoot. At my farm I have seen speeds of 1.5mhz at my house It is usually 200-400kbs. I am further away from a tower and through many hills at my farm. My connection goes dormant about everyother day and then a dance of disconnecting and updating prl begins.

I have a 4ghz/month contract. I never go over 1.5ghz. cost including the spanish/american war tax is 73 dollars a month. Where I live and commute to US cellular is the main player. Verizon and others are purported to be weak by their users.

The icon on my desktop for it is labeled "lame internet connection" I mean it.

We don't have any wired connection that can pull more than 3kbs.

I am using an old dish network dish to improve the power of reception .
