You might want to look at using a compression proxy, or else a cellular dongle attached to your computer... but that comes with a monthly fee. Although Virgin Mobile has one that's pre-pay month by month and uses the Sprint network. So if Sprint is good in your area I'd lean towards using that.

You could always switch hotels too
I don't think that we disagree on anything ... I just probably didn't articulate what I was thinking too well. I've considered broadband cards but a friend of mine has one (through sprint) and it's been a nightmare. But when you wrote that I realized that doesn't mean that they all suck.

How does the compression proxy work? That sounds really very interesting... if it's not too expensive, and allows you to compress things like say video from websites like hulu.. that'd be great!

I was wondering if remote desktop apps allow you to compress the image, send it through the internet and then uncompress it on the other end. I know it'd take more horsepower but that's not a problem..
