Well I thought I’d write about this… We thought we had wifi so we could post here while we were in the cabin. Well we were less than impressed that there wasn’t internet available so we went to the realty and rented a MiFi…
MiFi is a service available from Verizon that is basically a cellular cable modem with a WiFi access point… Think of it as being able to get on the internet with a wifi enabled device… like the netbook I’m writing on… anwhere. At the moment it is sitting here on a table at “Flapjacks Pancake Cabin on the border of Great Smokey Mountains National Park and GatlinBurg, TN.
I uploaded a 585 MB video to YouTube with it last night and I also made the last post with it.
Speeds are pretty good considering it’s a device that basically fits in the palm of your hand.
If I were a road warrior on the road all the time and always needed internet service on the road, this would be the thing to get.
