What Pete said....

From what I hear from my sprint guy, they are going to have high speed wireless in 50 major markets within the next few months. And then more to follow. It's going to be about 80 bucks a month. But he says it's faster than hardwired dsl. They are in colorado, and I believe it already has it.

Verizon has something that i use, it costs exactly 80 per month, and even though it is not high speed, it works pretty darn fast..

I will have it in Miami bdjuff if you want to check it out..

The reception is great, I was playing party poker all the way to vegas which is through the desert, and i was connected the whole way...lol

Verizon, Sprint and Cingular by the end of the year will be broadband speed through a wireless cellular card in most large cities in the US. At that point unlimited access should drop from the $80-100/mo. they currently charge. Right now you can get broadband wireless in a few area (mostly airports) and dial-up speed where ever you have a cell signal. The new little sony laptop (T350 I believe) has the card built into it which is a plus as you can go month to month and switch plans if one sucks ass.

I used to live where you could not get dsl or cable and I used http://direcpc.com/

It was fast as hell downloading. Uploading was much slower. Something like 7 or 8 KB a sec. Only a couple other drawbacks. One was the lagtime when you clicked on a link. I think it's less than a second and is quite noticable at first but it beats a dialup connection. The lagtime is the time it takes the signal to go from your dish to the sattelite and back again. No way around it.

Other drawback was they cap you at a certain amount of B/w per given time, or used to anyways. So if you were downloading gigs and gigs of content it would not cut you off but throttle you down for a certain time period.

How much would it cost?

I've been looking into satellite service and you can get it pretty much everywhere in the world.

A pretty good resource site that covers a big part of the world: http://www.satsig.net/

If you're looking for sat providers in Europe, I have a lot of bookmarks. Just let me know if you want them.
