    Since I am unable to get high speed connections in my area, I looked into an AirCard after hearing it from a friend. Right now I have a Sierra Wireless AirCard 595U from Sprint that I am trying out for 30 days to see if I like it. So far its really nice (a lot faster then my previous AOL, though I know not as fast as what a lot of you guys are using). If I like it I can get the router and stuff and be able to use 3-4 comp. on a wireless connection throughout the house or anywhere. I am new to high speed so I am hoping this is my answer with 3 teenagers living in my house. Anyone have experience with these or any comments? Thanks for your help.

    As long as it gives you a good signal, that should work great for your needs. As I'm sure you're aware, the real advantage of the aircards is that you can pop them out of the router and take them with you on the road if you're traveling, but they also make a great substitute for traditional broadband connections in good signal areas.
