Portable high speed internet connection? - GoFuckYourself.com

Marcus · 05-20-2002, 05:02 PM

I'm going to be away from my house for a few days next week and was wondering if it's possible to rent a laptop with a portable (wireless?) high speed internet connection so I can update my sites and check galleries.

I really don't feel like going to Kinkos three times a day to browse porn sites.

Any suggestions?

give me $1500.00 US dollars and I'll do it for you.

There's really no way to do it w/o wasting a lot of money -- go to Ricochet.com -- this is the company that gave us 128k wireless -- but due to horrible marketing they went under -- another company bought the network but they are taking their sweet ass time doing tests before they bring back the Ricochet network...

there really isnt any sort of national high speed wireless infrastructure in place now, your best bet is to google for wireless access in the city youre going to. you might be able to find places that offer wavelan connections where you could sit in a private area near them and work.

you're gonna waste more money for that connection than make in those 3 days....

Two options off hand.. AT&T has some high speed wireless stuff available in most areas, or you can get a new AT&T GSM bluetooth phone and use that..
