Checking the Speed of your connection

There are two popular sites that internet service providers use to find out how fast a customer's connection is.

The most popular, I believe, is Speedtest.net:

The other one would be Speakeasy. This one I haven't really tried but this is supposed to be as good as Speedtest.net

Clear USB modem Ubee

The Clear 4GUSB modem PXU 190(Ubee)

This little baby is one of the most powerful USB Modems that works off the CLEAR 4G network. Download speed from 3-5Mbps, this device can be purchased for only $80 or leased for just $4.00 per month with a 2 year contract. Your laptop will surely have no trouble staying online with the Clear Mobile USB.

Mobile Hotspots

One of the best inventions in recent times is the Mobile Hotspot. This allows you to be a walking Wi-fi zone that multiple devices could connect to. We'll look into some of the most popular devices out there. So if you're out looking for gift items this season, you might want to consider some of the following devices.

Mobile hotspots
Verizon Mifi

Sprint Overdrive

- Uses Sprint's 3G network and Clearwire's 4G infrastructure.

- Mini LCD display

- Micro SD card slot for shared information.

- 4 hours battery time..

Clearspot 4G

- Can connect up to 8 devices

- Has a battery life of 4 hours.

- LED indicator

- Also comes in white color, also called iSpot, exclusively for i-mac devices.

- Uses WiMax 4G technology by Clearwire.

Verizon LTE

Verizon LTE.
It the commercial doesn't say much. And their website is just flashy. It's supposed to be faster than WiMax but the device options are limited to just USB modems. It's also more expensive than WiMax providers with no options for 3G. I see a lot of down side to this technology but there's also a lot of potential. I guess this is the best we've got so far until the REAL 4G technology is invented.
