Cellular Broadband Question

[jclewter79]

I use Verizion Cellular Broadband as my primary internet connection. Is there some type of router that I could buy so that I could use my aircard to run a wireless network so that I could hook up my 722 HDDVR to the internet? All I know is that the 722 has a eithernet port and also supports homeplug.

There are several for 3G but not as many for Verizon.

I did however did a quick search and found this one.

I'm not so sure that you will be happy with the results though

D-Link has a model specifically for Verizon air card sharing:

Be sure to check if your Verizon plan has a monthly cap on transfers. Downloading a movie can hit that pretty quickly and of course it will take a while!

From what I heard the account is called unlimited but some have reported a unwritten limit. In the past it has been reported that some have been dropped for using too much but I don't know. I might be interested in trying them since my bill says unlimited.

Thank ya'll for the suggestions, I did not even know what something like this would be called, so thank ya'll for the help.

If I'm not mistaken, Sprint is the only one without a cap. I believe most others are around 5GB/month.

Yes, I found out the verzion has a 5GB a month limit but since my account was made before march 08 I get no overages for exceeding the limit. If I go over they CAN throttle me to 200 kb a day after the limit is reached and will give an option to cancel without an ETF. At the time I signed up it was advertized as unlimited. I have never gone over the limit but as of right now I only do basic surfing. It is good to know in case I ever want to get rid of my service.:)

Sprint also has a 5GB/month cap. It's a "soft" cap in that they just throttle you, but if you regularly exceed it (I believe 3 months out of 5 in any 5-month period), they'll call you and threaten to drop you. Note that they don't like to talk about their cap..
