Wireless Laptop rip-off

Published by ralphio at 8:04 am under Computers Edit This

We purchased one of those tiny laptops and we think its the coolest thing. At first I was a little concerned about the small display but forget that. The picture is smaller but sharper and it is very easy on the eyes.
The only issue is the wireless internet. Even though the computer is wireless capable, ATT told us we have to purchase another USB card at $250 with rebate and a new two year committment.
I’m looking for some WIFI locations so I can tell ATT to take a hike.
Their wireless service promises 600 to 1200 kps speeds. That’s crap. It’s more like 25 to 120kps.
When I told that to one of their sales people he said it never goes up to 600 kps. The technology has not been perfected.
What a rip off.
I’m going to find something free.
