Ron I can't really tell you a lot about it but as of right now that is what we are using for our internet hear at the house. Our internet provider closed in the phone service area where we could get a direct unlimited phone line too so we are without dialup now. We are using a AT& T cell service plan. It uses a sierra wireless Aircard 875U which is a USB device that is just plugged into the usb port on the front of the PC. When we first started using it we though it was probably faster than the dialup but lately sometimes it seems slow. I dodn't know but I think it could be somthing to do with how much use the cell tower is getting and the phone lines available to it. Cell tower is about a mile from house and I can see it from my front door. We also use it at the farm in the office and we are probably 4 to 4.5 miles from tower. I think service is about $70 a month and the card was $50 with a mail in rebate.
