Verizon Confined - Feeling is Mutual

June 1st, 2008 by Eric

When I saw this commercial on TV the other day, I certainly empathize with the actor. Although I might amplify this with also being caged to a power outlet at a coffee shop. I am still wrestling with the speed and convenience of WiFi (my AT&T DSL plan includes WiFi access at Starbucks and other places) in comparison to pulling out my aircard with potentially slower speeds. Also, unless I am there for an extended period of time, signing on with WiFi seems to be a bit quicker in setup, login and getting going versus an aircard.

On the flip side, the new notebook that I purchased recently has been keeping up with me as I opted for the extended battery *and* the second battery. If I squeeze out every ounce of battery, but still keeping the WiFi connection, I can still get over 5 hours!
