Just an FYI for those of us that cannot get DSL or Cable Internet access at the lake.

Went by Verizon in Bham on Friday and picked up a Verizon Wireless card for my laptop.

Took it home to house in Bham and tried it out. To say the least I was amazed at the speed I would have to say it is probably faster than my DSL.

So brought to lake on Saturday and figured since I was out of the big city the cards Internet speed would be hampered significantly. Boy was I ever wrong just as fast at the lake.

So for those of us who cannot get DSL of Cable Internet access at the lake this might be a great solution.

In case you are wondering our home is on the Alex City side of the lake up by Wind Creek and the monthly cost is $59.95 per month if you have Verizon wireless phone service. Not sure what i cost if you do not have their wireless phone service. Also the card was free after rebate and you get to try it for 30 days at no risk to make sure you like it.

Also the other benefit is not having to worry about going on vacation or business somewhere and wondering if you will have Internet access as long as you have Verizon service it appears I will have Internet access. As I felt assured once I got to Alex City and out of Verizon's primary network the speed would be significantly hampered, but I was wrong, so I hope to find this fact to be true in my other travels throughout the US.

Another interesting fact is that while I was waiting for the card to be activated the sale person told me by Feb 2008 all wireless signals were required to be digital, therefore analog will be no longer. The rep also asked me if I heard some echoing recently when I spoke on my Verizon phone and said yes. He told me this is because the tower I was on was in the process of transferring from analog to digital. Just a tid bit of info I thought I would pass along.
