A Day in the Life of 3G – PC World
Saw this article by chance. PC World spent a day testing 3G services in 13 cities across the U.S. Big surprise, Verizon offered the best all-around service. AT&T? Not so hot. Again, big surprise. Man, I’m never going to hear … Continue reading
Mission Control, we have FiOS
Well, we finally have FiOS at the house, not without a lack of trying. I think the honeymoon period is officially over. If you aren’t up to speed, the deal was that a new work crew would replace the main … Continue reading
