Comment BB Curve tethered modem (Score 1) 135
Ive been tethering my BB Curve to my PC for almost a year now using the EDGE network, its actually quite capable when viewing web pages and the like. Streaming anything is a no go, but i managed to play WoW since June using it. Though my latency was around 600ms on a good day (low server population), it wasnt unbearable. At least till WotLK xpan anyways. Now its nearly impossible to keep the connection, but my point is that it is quite useful. Especially if you are unable to set up your own broadband account for whatever reason or cant find a wifi signal you can jack. Im not positive on the data xfer speeds but im fairly sure its in the dial up ballpark (56k), maybe slightly faster. Downloads consistantly peak out around 24 kbps. The new OS upgrade (4.5 and up) was supposedly supposed to boost speeds but if it did, it wasnt anything to speak of. Just thought id add my 2 coppers.
