Does anybody have any experience or recommendations on getting internet on a laptop. I can tether through my android phone but it is painfully slow. I have my service through alltel right now and they said their data card wouldn't be quite fast enough for video chat which is one of the main things I would like to have it for. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You will only be as fast as the service in the area. If verizen provides 4G in area, you will get that speed, but if not you will only get what is available no matter what provider you go with.

I guess the main thing I'm wondering is how fast it is when it's at it's slowest. Would I have to be in a 4G area to do the video chat or would It still work even in 3G. Has anyone tried streaming Netflix with one?

You will burn through your bandwidth cap in a short amount of time streaming video from Netflix. Even so called unlimited plans are capped at 5GB or something close.

With AT&T 3G and using it on an iPhone 4, as long as I have a signal it works only milliseconds behind when hooked to WiFi. I setup tethering but never have really needed to use it so I have no clue as to the any added lag when a tethered device/pc.

I have not seen the AT&T bills from the last couple months (work pays for an unlimited business data plan), but I "USE" my phone during the day and evening on 3G like mad more than most ever would. Hosting a domain locally on the phone and using it as a file sharing/FTP server with ServersMan and Cloud Connect, stream Netflix and pretty much anything you can think of and I am sitting at this:

Since my last wipe and update about a month and a half ago when loading v4.3.3 a week or two after it was released which was the beginning of May I believe.

The other guys at work who use the 3G connection under normal condition but do use it are always under a 1G in a months time.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
