Most wireless card internet plans say unlimited, but in the fine print, unlimited is up to 5 gigabytes. Is this plan different.

@backwoodstech The alltel / verizon data plan is currently unlimited, but is subject to change.

internet anywhere? what about in the ocean? yep not anywhere :P

@THEScottishFURY Anywhere there is a cell phone signal. Which would also mean it wouldn't work on the moon.

That laptop needs to lose some weight

[guerillabill]

@rickyman1234 That Laptop is Dell Studio XPS, with 3.4ghz intel extreme processor. Very fast and ideal for video editing. That was two years ago. These days I carry a netbook and android phone, and do my video editing on my desktop

This video was made in early 2008, long before every cell phone came with EVDO 3G built-in. Fast-forward 3 yrs, and bandwidth is severely constrained in many areas; thus the 'glory days' of getting 2.5mbps peak downloads are now just a fond memory. Sad, as "mobile broadband" is now down to dial-up speeds for many users.

Bill makes a reference to EVDO speeds "being 20x faster than dial-up", but 480kbps is about 4-5x faster than dial-up (typically 100kbps, on avg; limited to 140kbps, max).
