What a Dry Sell

Good morning Montana Family. Puter slowed way down so took it to the Geek Squad for cleaning and repair and updates, not knowing at the same time my jet-pack Verizon air card was dying. So it was back and forth for two weeks from Best Buy to Verizon getting back on line. Almost forgot how to type. But had lots of time to work on the CD so it is about done and ready for production. Have a hundred orders already so hope nothing else goes wrong. Happy Trails, Steve and Susie

Welcome back. So slowing down was the only sign the Jet pack gave you?

Right Dick, so I just assumed the slowing down was the computer needed a good going thru, but must be it was the jet pack itself all along. Oh well, maybe know better next time, but then---maybe not--lol. Happy Trails, Steve

I don't use an Air Card, but I use something called a HotSpot. Allows up to 5 devices to connect to it at 54mps max and the HOTSpot connects to the internet ar either 3G or 4G. We use it mostly when we travel otherwise we use Verizon FIOS for internet and the house devices (2 laptops, printer, guest computers) connect via wired or wireless connections to the FIOS Router.

What I do at home is leave the HOTSpot in a 4G position, then will force all devices to connect to the thing. Without doing anything most devices connect wireless @ 54MBs. Then for reasons I do not understand, checking the network status and the speed might briefly drop to as low as 15MBs AND on the other side of the connection the Hotspot will drop to 3GB, then back up to 4GB. If nothing is moved and these same connections to the FIOS router don't ever change like this, then what's up with the HOTSpot and why all the fluctuations?

Nevertheless I do consider the device reliable during our travels and satisfied the performance and I think overall the service is better than most. It's most dramatic and nice to have when we are actually ON the road and need to "cerf" the web when needed. I just don't like how screwy things work at home when everything is static, but I guess with a small footprint 4G is more difficult to maintain. BAH!
