Comments on: Death of WiFi? http://austinmatzko.com/2008/03/17/death-of-wifi/ A blog about philosophy, Christianity, web development and whatever else I feel like writing about. Sun, 19 May 2013 12:48:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2-RC4-18391 By: Jonathan Bjorgen http://austinmatzko.com/2008/03/17/death-of-wifi/comment-page-1/#comment-194709 Jonathan Bjorgen Mon, 31 Mar 2008 05:39:32 +0000 http://www.ilfilosofo.com/?p=434#comment-194709 I've recently been connecting quite a bit with my Treo, and I can see what you mean. With free WiFi hotspots becoming fewer all the time, it's getting easier and easier to justify paying one's mobile provider and having unlimited access just about anywhere. It costs like $6-8 to connect at Barnes and Noble, or a hotel or most airports. A couple weeks ago, I blogged and did real-time tracking as I drove 2200 miles across country via my mobile phone. Definitely not possible with wifi. Off topic: I followed a link from one of my Wordpress plugins to your site before I realized, "Hey...I went to BJU with that guy." Small world.

I have no complaints- the only drawback I've noticed at all is streaming video "stutters" a bit. They have a plan that is pretty reasonable ($39.95/mo unlimited use with a 2 year commitment).
