I write about computer maintenance and keeping your PC “running like new” constantly, but I rarely focus on the connection that brings you the world wide web. Let’s face it, a fast PC and a fast internet connection are like peanut-butter and jelly. Each is pretty good on it’s own, but put them together and you’ve got a winning formula. Have you ever tested your internet connection? Are you getting what you pay for or are you being cheated by your internet service provider (ISP)?

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
Have you ever wished that you had high-speed internet access available to you everywhere you went? Have you ever been frustrated because your mobile device (laptop, game system, music player) seems almost handicapped by the lack of free Wi-Fi around the city? Do you have a “smart phone” that allows you to surf the internet on the go but avoid using it because it is slow, the screen is too small and/or web sites seem more difficult to navigate? This is exactly how I felt, until the introduction of WiMAX in my area.
WiMAX is a new internet service that allows users to access the internet wherever they are, wirelessly. At home, in your car, at the park, at a coffee shop…. the possibilities are limitless. Depending on your city and the coverage provided by your local distributor, WiMax covers hundreds to thousands of square miles and allows you to enjoy true high-speed internet on the go. Imagine how having high-speed internet access anywhere/anytime could change the way you surf, think and live.
This 4G (fourth generation) service is not available everywhere in the US now, but major cities and surrounding areas are being added constantly. To date, WiMAX is available in over 25 cities of the United States (covering 10 states) and overseas.
