High Speed Internet Solution

Catgirl · 04-29-2008, 05:50 PM

Hi Everyone!

I may be behind the times but we found a solution to the high speed internet problem in the country...if you have cell coverage. You can get an air card from Telus Mobility (USB if going into a desktop computer - more choices if going into a laptop) that was developed for laptops. The cost is $299.99 (no contract) or $49.99 (3 year contract) for the aircard and $60.00 per month (30 MB download) or $100.00 per month (unlimited).

Works very well.

Happy surfing!!

Ya but the unlimit is caped at 100mb. Trust me they tell you its unlimited, but read the fine print. And its $15/mb after the 100mb cape. Bell has a air card that is 250mb/month for less than telus and uses all of telus's towers.

Slamnek · 04-29-2008, 09:22 PM

I also have xplornet and am very happy with it. Not quite as fast as telus high speed but certinly fast enough.

sledbunnyracing · 04-30-2008, 08:54 AM

Yep, pay attention to the fine print and the limits placed on an air card. Fellow worker thought it was great until he found out how much info is pulled down on many sites. His unlimited would last for about 12 days and then he had to pay extra.
Otherwise the service is great and speed very acceptable.

I sure hope you guys are wrong about this. I average 60MB/day at work. I work 23 days/month. 60MB x 23 days = 1,380MB. 1,380MB - 100MB cap = 1,280MB. 1,280MB x $15.00 per MB = $19,200.00/month

SnowBunny25 · 04-30-2008, 09:44 AM

In Parkland County and Devon you can use Tera-Byte. They are an amazing company. No limits and very fast. Good rates!

Heres the link

It doesnt say but my friend had a 1000 dollar bill from them once cause he never read the fine print.
