Charlie - 11 Nov 2006 01:32 GMT It appears that Jackson MS is finally getting wireless broadband, courtesy of Verizon. A contractor working in our plant using a Verizon card in his laptop was connecting at 1,000 Kbytes/sec recently.
The Verizon broadband coverage map seems to indicate coverage.
Unfortunately, no one at Verizon Sales, local or national, seems to be aware that anything is up & running. The local sales office wasn't interested in talking to me, even if I was buying 2 voice lines with many minutes + broadband subscription.
Any broadband installers working here in MS care to comment?
I live about 10 miles north of town, out of reach of everything except satellite, & I'm willing to get very creative in hitting a broadband tower if I can get someone to confirm coverage and/or show me on a map the nearest broadband tower to the community of Pocahontas.
Thanks,
Charlie

Don't forget that Verizon Wireless will shut you off if you use more than 10GB per month.

I've been to New York a few times. Fun place, but most of the population there believes you fall off the edge if you cross the Hudson. Nice people, but some of the most crippled I've ever met when it comes to diverse experience.
I wonder if Rep. Wrangel has ever visited MS (or strayed from NY farther than DC).
Charlie Support our troops; send Jr. Bush to a home for the criminally insane & impeach the rest.

What happened to New York on 9/11 was tragic but I wouldn't go there if someone paid my expenses! You're correct...most native New Yorkers no nothing about the "outside world"!
Charlie Wrangel is a total a.s!
Oregon?

I do find it pretty amusing when someone from, say, NY or Wisconsin tells me *I* have a funny accent.
Oregon residents are constantly telling everyone else that living in Oregon is miserable because it rains all the time. (True about the rain but the rest of the package more than compensates.) They say this because they don't want more people spoiling the view.
If Wrangel had any sense at all, he'd have realized that 2 of his house mates from MS are Dems & one also black & is about to be heading up that Homeland 'Security' committee thing.
Duhhh....
BTW, I mistyped earlier. I don't think Jr. is insane, just criminally stupid.
