I had them back when they were still GTE. They sold my account to
Southwestern Bell wireless. Three months later, they merged to become
Cingular. Both times, I got double-billed, once by $oldCompany, and
later by $newCompany, and when they became Cingular, they wanted another
deposit because it was "new service". So, to hell with them both.

A few people around here have had great luck with them, but I'm happy
where I am, and it's too much of a pain to switch even if ATT did have a
better deal.

Yep. Well, consider your bandwidth and how far that signal has to -go-.
Wireless is all about latency. Even 802.11 has noticable latency for
ssh.

Didn't we all. I'd like to use the terminal mode of my i90 connected to
a wearable computer so that I can have 'net access from anywhere. :)
