I saw someone the other day using their laptop at McDonald's. I should have asked if they had a network connection. It just looked really wierd.LittleAsianGuy said:I just got my laptop last week and tried connecting at a coffee house. Coffee houses u either pay a shit load of $$ or u get a crappy connection. Where's the best place too get a connection?
Oh Marvin please no stupid dine and dash comments.

I checked this out GBM and found it's (Rogers portable) only avail. in greater Vancouver, Victoria and Abbotsford. So (right now anyways), you'll need to restrict your summer camping to certain areas.georgebushmoron said:
Not true. I use the Roger's service in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Burnaby, New West, Richmond and Coquitlam. In fact, I'm in Coquitlam right now on Roger's.Randy Whorewald said:
I do believe I'm right on this one George. The areas you noted are of course, as I stated above, in the Greater Vancouver coverage area. Try using it in Chilliwack or the Okanagan and you'll see what I'm talking about. As as matter of fact, you can look at Rogers site and see for yourself - see / click belowgeorgebushmoron said:
Who cares about Chilliwack and the Okanagan! Those places are out in the wilderness where nothing of any consequence ever happens anyways. When visiting, it's like stepping back in time 20 years.... girls in their 20's with 80's haircuts pregnant and barefooted, guys driving El Caminos with a bucket of fried chicken behind the seat, etc.Randy Whorewald said:
OK George, whatever you say. I would say a lot of people care about Chilliwack, Okanagan, the north etc. BTW - There's nothing wrong with stepping back in time either. The discussion was not about giving a shit about the Okanagan, it was about Rogers portable internet service outside the Greater Vancouver Area. You now know what the Greater Vancouver area encompasses.georgebushmoron said:
Actually, I didn't mean it. Frankly I find those places charming and I like to stop by once in awhile on long road trips to Edmonton or Calgary. I was just trying to add a colorful description to a boring techie thread about wireless access, to spice things up a bit and yank a few chains. But you handled it well and I applaud and respect your indomitability. Lesser beings, and there are a notable few on this board, would have used a lot of four letter words and thrown insults.Randy Whorewald said:OK George, whatever you say.

Now why would I do that??LittleAsianGuy said:Oh Marvin please no stupid dine and dash comments.
Roger's is $39.95, with unlimited data transfer (on high speed).... and I mean unlimited (I've abused the hell out of it). The modem is the size of a small textbook, and given I have to carry a laptop and related equipment, it's not much more. It weighs 2 lbs. I usually don't need to be that mobile. Once I get to my destination, I stay for hours on my laptop. For example, I don't need a wireless connection while I am driving. I assume the Telus service let's you connect while on the road? What about data transfer $ rates?everest said:
Ha! Speaking of which, drive to the top floor parking next to A&W .... go up there with your wireless laptop and pick up all the unsecured connections from the condo tower right next to it. You won't believe how many I got last summer.... a convenient way to surf from your car.Poorguy said:
