Hello fellow addicts,

 

I am considering mobile broadband from Verizon since my house in the US has only dial-up available (yes, dial-up, for those of you who were born back then, still exists ),

 

Have any of you experience this product, overall satisfaction?

 

How did it work with VATSIM?

 

There are different plans, 250MG/month or 5GB/month. How much band is used to be connected to VATSIM?

 

thanks for the help

Yes. My company still provides that service.

I used Cricket broadband for my Laptop while traveling. I found the bandwidth to be more than some people's cable modem.

 

How did it work with VATSIM?

 

Great!

Not enough to easily measure.

 

thanks for the help

For FSInn/VATSIM issues, please test the FSInn Installation sticky and linked FAQ. It really works!

I am hurting from laughing..telegraph, that is how I feel on dial-up!!

 

I got Verizon and it is working good for what we do on-line and it sure beats dial-up. I have not used it on VATSIM because my hangar is outside the US where I work, but it is good to know that even dial-up will work for VATSIM since I will eventually will be flying from home.

 

Thanks for the help
