    Crossfingers Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go? Other suggestions?

    So I wanna be able to cam out of town and at these adult conventions and apparently I need some sort of device for a reliable internet connection outside my home. Looking at Virgin Mobile's Broadband 2 Go because they offer a daily rate of $5 which would be ideal when I don't go out of town. has anyone used this or a similar service. This is the device I'm interested in. Or would the stick kind be better for camming?

    Again, this isn't for my regular connection, it would be nice to be able to get out of town and not be bound to monthly service. The daily rate would be perfect if the speeds are ok. It seems like it depends on the coverage in the area after reading some reviews...

    It's too slow for most sites it seems. I am looking forward to the day when technology catches up to us!

    Let us know if you try it though. I tried tethering my phone while out of town which has similar speeds and the video feed was so bad guys constantly complained.

    I use CLEAR.COM. It's excellent, and never drops connection. Just make sure they have coverage where you will be staying. It's pay-as-you go, and less than 50 dollars, no credit check.

    I brought a Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go so I could travel and cam as well but it sucked so bad. It took forever just to load a webpage, video, or email. There's no way it can be used for camming. I brought a Clear internet usb as well. I was told that it was supported in my area but it doesn't work. I called Clear to troubleshoot it and they said that the connection was blocked at my location. So I can't even use it and its too late for me to return it to the store. At&t, Sprint, and Verizon also has broadband2Go devices but I think Virgin, Clear, and At&t are the only one's with prepaid/no contract options.

    How does clear work exactly? My landlord has it in my building but I use my own internet? Does bandwidth to go borrow bandwidth from other peoples services?

    Clear is a device, and it's either wifi, or with the cord~connected from the device to your computer. it's your own secure internet system. I use both on my pc, depending on whether I feel like moving around my room or not.
    best thing to do is go onto their website, and call them. They are very helpful. hope that works for You! Glam

    Okay thanks! In my building its available to everyone who lives there. The actual device is locked in a utility closet. So it would be wireless. I just didnt like the idea of so many people using the same bandwidth at the same time. Currently I pay a great deal of money for only an upload speed of 3 mbps. If they can do better for less money then maybe I will check them out.
