I hear you — when we lose the cable here, I tether my PDA to my little girl’s laptop, and unlike Houston where they’ve got 3G, out here in Louisiana it’s only the Edge network. I checked the speed and it was only 14K — in other words, one-fourth the speed of a 56K dial-up modem. I can’t begin to describe how frustrating that is, so “Ah feel yer pain!” FReep on!!
i am on the edge network also. very slow and stressful when your worried about home, friends and family and some people on this board wanna be rude cause you ask them to keep on topic at least through the worst part of the storm. :-(
