I just got Broadband2Go wireless Internet to supplement $7/month
dialup and now can watch these posted videos. So far its speed
averages 37 KBPS from my house with 1-2 bars, with bursts possibly
over 100 KBPS.

If you buy the modem from Walmart their prepaid $20 top-ups get you 1
GB of data and a month to use it, from Virgin Mobile it's 500MB. I
think I could skip a month or two and effectively have fast service
for large software updates for $7-$10 a month.

Has anyone else tried it?

No...never heard of it.

Im using a "tether" connection via my cell phone to my computer and
"PdaNet" software.

Works quite well. Sprint raised our bills $10 to cover "expanded
internet use" for all Sprint customers..so after that..I figured I was
well within my rights to tether. So I did.

My only internet costs is the $4.95 a month for GigaNews
