What they can say is, "Your contract with ATT is terminated due to excessive data use."

"Unlimited" really isn't unlimited. In fact, I've heard that one way to get out if your contract without paying an early termination fee is to start downloading many gigs of data; lots of movies, for example. You will first receive a warning from ATT, then a contract termination notice.

Seems like a method worth trying if you really want to switch to Verizon but are locked into a two-year contract. ONLY if you have the unlimited data plan, however.

Airport router vs Cisco Valet

Posted by: "Norma Steele" noearthspam@gmail.com   nosteele

Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:58 am (PST)



I am in need of replacing a dying Linksys WRT54G router. We have had it for
years so it has been a long time since I have had to set up a network in the
house and I recall that it was not an easy feat when I did it years ago but
I finally got a working network where we have a PC laptop, iMac, 2 iPhones,
3 TiVos and a wireless printer. I dread having to do this once again when I
get the new router so I am hoping to find something that is easy.

I have been seeing on TV the Cisco Valet which is advertised to be easy
peasy to set up so I am contemplating purchasing the Valet. I also am
thinking of buying the Apple Airport Extreme MC340LL/A or the AirPort
Express Base Station MB321LL/A There is a pretty substantial difference
between the Valet ($89 on Amazon) and Airport Extreme ($159.00) and am
looking for feedback on the 3 routers.

What say you all??

I can speak only to the Airport Extreme. I like it. Easy to set up using a Mac and I've had no problems. Wireless printer, iPhone, ATV all have "found" it.

I agree, I have a mixed network of four Macs and one Linux server using my Airport Extreme. Very easy setup and it allows me to have a network drive and my HP Laser plugged into it.

This is the same concern that initially stopped iambic from porting Agendus
which I had used on the Palm for many years. In the end though I find Pocket
Informant better than the agendus offering that finally made it to the
iPhone.

Do you know, or think that the App

you use one of their App on your
iPhone?

Depends on if they coded it in, if it connects to their server for some
reason (pull data), etc

Downloaded Pocket Tunes for my iPhone 3Gs and it failed multiple times in Irvine, CA, on a 19 mile bicycle ride. Had to stop and reset. It works fine in my house with our WiFi network.

I believe this is due to the really bad AT&T network locally. I've complained a number of times and always they tell me, We're trying to upgrade the network. Maybe so, but it's still bad.

BTW, I'm an XM/Sirius customer, and that company still wants $2.99 per month for service using the app on the iPhone. Anything to squeeze the customer for more money.

You can pay a one time fee if you want.

I too am a subscriber.

I am a lifetime member so online is free which I can do from Pocket Tunes.

But for the custom Sirius XM app I had to pay extra.

Re: iOS 4.3 brings Personal Hotspot to GSM iPhones

Advertisers are the ones who got the idea all wrong. They presume that it is still the time of unconditional giving and sacrifice. Well, not with your personal hotspot. You use it for your iPad that has no 3G and your computer. Well, maybe your bestfriend's iPod touch... But not for anyone. That's why it's got password anyway.

These MyFi/Personal Wi-Fi/Personal Hotspots are everywhere where I am. But their commercials just don't get the point why people buy them. Probably the advertising agency's fault.

Wouldn't they also be bandwidth vampires running up my data usage and costing me additional fees?

The Palm Pre Plus on Verizon also offers the hotspot. I don't know about costs with the Droid, but with the Palm the hotspot is free up to 5 gB. The hotspot was one of the major deciding factors when I upgraded my old phone to the Pre Plus.

I am stuck with Verizon because of coverage issues. I can't WAIT to see if I'll be able to get the new iphone at a reasonable cost.

Can you be more specific about any problems that you're having?

I listen to lots of audiobooks and probably can help - it's not hard - but having more info would help.
