Hi,
We're moving to HA from Volcano in a few weeks (to near Rds 5 and E). Looking for different cell phone service, esp with wireless internet. My T Mobile cell service doesn't work well down there. Sounds as though AT&T or Sprint are worth checking.
And thanks for the helpful posts on cell signal amplifiers!
Re. Internet Access: does anyone have experience with Mobi Hele Wireless in the Rd 5/E area? Any other ideas for wireless internet that's reasonable speed (1.8, 2 mps?)
Aloha Broadband don't cover that area yet. American Wireless Systems offered to hook up a personal wireless "tower" for $1000 and then it would be $110 per month for their best broadband service, which only provides speeds of 1 megabyte/sec. So that's out. (Pity, because a friend has their service down in Leilani area and gets good speeds at their $60 a month rate.)
I'm not hearing very positive reports about internet satellite as far as broadband speed goes.
Any ideas gratefully considered!
