And so I switched from Sprint to ATT on my CF-31...

And I must say this: GOOD GOD IS ATT FAST! I can download crap off the interwebs at 400+ kbps, vs sprints measly 100kbps!!! WOW! it actually works in my shop too withOUT the cell repeater (since that repeater is only for Sprint).

I still have phone service with Sprint and am happy with it, and will NOT be changing any time soon.

The funny thing is this: I'm paying the SAME MONEY as I was with Sprint ($50/month) AND, because I have steller credit, I didn't even need to sign a contract! Activated it on the GOBI2000 card and it's working GREAT! WOW!

I'm actually on a 4G plan.... Now I'm just wondering if this 3G is this fast, I wonder how fast the 4G will be.

Whats even better is this: I can now switch the SIM to a normal USB device (I have one laying around that is 7.2M HSDPA USB one) so that if I need to ever put it on a different machine (like my wifes CF-19), I can actually do that... w00t!!!

Hell, I might even install an INTERNAL HSDPA card into her CF-19 (since I got a million of them laying around) so I can simply pop my sim into hers and go...

How, how to put a 4G card internal into my CF-31????

 

FWIW:

I installed a Novatel EU870D into a CF-19 MK1 unit here (as a test dummy) and it works, but won't connect with ATT. I then tried out an EU860D and it works GREAT! I will install it tonight in my wifes CF-19MK1/Touch

That way when we go on trips I can just give her my SIM card and she can get online without my CF-31 being used as an AD-HOC AP

Thanks

 

I have the ATT plan on my GOBI and can't see the need for more bandwidth. It's like a wired broadband connection.

 

I had AT&T card for computer service until I finally got DSL in my area. It sucked here around the house. We don't even have 3G here on the towers yet. Now in a bigger city like Monroe it was faster but not that fast. When I took it to New Orleans and Lafayette where they had full 3G service it would fly.

 

Any idea if this guy will work in my CF-31????? Universal Ericsson F5521GW 21Mbps for ACER PK Gobi3000 | eBay

It would be nice to get 4G....

 

Supported Laptop

ACER/SONY/DELL/Panasonic / Gateway / Fujitsu / Benq

 

Right... I saw that in the auction... Just cuz it says that doesn't mean that it will actually work.....

 

"Ya pays your monies and ya takes your chances."

 

According to ATT, this Ericson 21MB downstream card IS ACCEPTED as a card that WILL WORK on their network...

Now I just need to see if it will work in the CF-31.....
