Title: Best east coast carrier/setup for web access
#2
In the interest of full disclosure, I am selling an aircard on ebay: Linky


I can;t speak to AT&T's service on the east coast. Here in CA, it was pretty good. the card worked good at Catalina, and in every Marina I tried it in. I've used it WAY out in the stix in Oregon, BUT I was on the I5 freeway corrider.

Speed is usually pretty good, from 300-600 Kbs.

Cost is a flat $60 a month. I bought the card because I desperately needed internet about 2 months before iphone 3g came out, and I wanted iPhone for iNavX. I thought I could tether the iPhone to my mac. WRONG.

I can't afford 60 for this card and 70 for the iPhone. I may still jailbreak the phone and tether it, but I find that I just use the iphone more than the laptop lately.

AT&T does support Macs for this card, they helped me get it setup. The only thing you really have to do is put the password in. Apple supports the 881 natively, so there's no software or modem strings.
