It all depends on where you live.

You screwed Linksys all up but thats ok, I know what you are saying.

But see, my PocketPC has a built-in wireless modem. If everyone had one of those it would be all you need.

Default Look what I found !!!

http://cnettv.cnet.com/autonet-mobile-wi-fi-router/9742-1_53-50074938.html This helps a lot... kind of settles my mind now ... I think I'm definitely gonna get one ..... My only worry is that this is in a Cadillac and a truck is a lot more re-enforced ... the thing is though Cadillac is known for doing rigorous testing .. same as VW ... I doubt they would endorse something that is half ***.... Watch the vid and tell me your thoughts please .... I may order this thing today while it's only $199

So here is a good question for you. What wireless speeds do you plan on sharing and with how many other users? Keep in mind the more you share and split the less bandwidth you will have. And true wireless like cellular or sat doesnt have a lot of bandwidth to begin with.

Well...I figure if I am streaming pandora and the kids are in the backseat facebooking or the little one is playing with her webkinz .. it should run cool ... I totally understand that the bandwidth is not capable of streaming more than one thing at a time. Or I could just play online poker while my girl drives I almost feel like I will want to take more road trips talking about it I'm going to order the damn thing ... I'll post a review once I get it.

Ok, so I ordered the Autonetmobile.com WiFi off of Amazon.com
It arrived on Friday but I have not yet gotten it installed. I'm getting it installed later today .... I'll let you know how it works.
p.s. I mailed in for my $200 rebate
