My parents had one called "mifi" that worked really well but I think it was on Verizon. Have you considered satellite? Could there be any wimax options? -------- Original message -------- From: canito at dalan.us Date:02/19/2014 2:33 PM (GMT-06:00) To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: [tclug-list] OT: Best Hot Spot for the Money Hi Everyone- I'm sure this question has been kicked around here before. But I need your help to determine which is the best priced hot-spot service for the twin cities. I've been struggling with poor Internet connection at home in Burnsville for about a year now. I believe it to be due to the aging infrastructure. I've had both phone and cable, cable being the most reliable when it isn't dropping my connection. I've thought about getting by with the cheapest connection from Cable which should be sufficient for reading Democracy Now! and connecting to work. Although, unreliable. My next option is to get a mobile hot-spot which I briefly looked at visiting my local Best Buy store. I have to mention that my mobile phone connection (Verizon) is also a bit poor at home; so I don't really have a lot of options. However, I'd like to know what you consider reliable at a good cost for hot-spots? At this point I am willing to sacrifice streaming and abide by a stringent yum update to maybe once a month :) in order to have a decent Internet connection. With that said, all suggestions are welcome.
