    You will be amazed at what you have missed! And uploading pics will be so much easier too.

    I certainly envy you - slow dial-up here too. No videos and very few pictures - I would post some of my fabric for sale but could not even see my own pictures, etc.

    What is the name of this "gadget" and does it work with anything but Verizon. I have wireless but am unable to get the video's to work properly...stop...start..stop ...start....some never finish.
    Thanks

    I am so jealous! I don't see any high speed in my future but at least I have dial-up. Congratulations!

    I have a Sprint aircard. I LOVE it! However, I don't know what your plan is, but we are limited as to how much we can "do" on the internet. Kind of like the cell phone. Use too much, and we pay overage. This means no video, no music, no games, no homework, download only important stuff, etc. Hopefully you're in an area or your plan allows for unlimited usage. For some reason, NO ONE wants to provide either regular broadband or 4G (unlimited) to our street. Kind of a bummer, since the folks above us and below us enjoy unlimited, and the darn Sprint tower is in the neighbor's pasture! Enjoy! Just watch usage if you're limited.
