RE: Connected while in a Popup camping!

Twsited, I know.  But for my line of work it s a blessing and a curse..
 
 Anyway - Got the new sprint Modem card - Took with me on a trip! - Amazzing Stayed connected from Detroit to Georgia! - Down 75 ... Enabled us to look ahead for some of the evil weather on radar and determine to pull over or drive through - in this case we drove through,which worked out great - avoided the next days storms that settled in hours behind us..
 
 Anyway it is possible to be in your popup - connected to the office world so you can stay a bit longer on a trip...
 
 The DW has given me some pretty hard rules, Kids first... So most work in the Popup is done late at night... Conference calls are on a phone while wondering the campground...  
 
 Draw backs... $$$$$ .. $100 per month for unlimted connection on internet - speed is between dial up and 1/2 a DSL... somtimes getting 30K per sec - a far cry from what is advertised... Card costs $250... Etc... But if you need it - it s there!

Your family must really appreciate the fact that you won t let your busy schedule get in the way of going on a camping trip..... and the kids can also do Homework assignments or surf the net......  Do you think it is worth the $100?  I m not sure that I would do it for $25 per month, but I m just glad to get away from the internet and phones while camping....

Called Sprint... I was wrong on pricing... If you have there 2000 minute plan 2 phone deal (unlmited weekends etc) you get unlimited internet access via the pc modem for  $10 a  month... That works well...
 
 Yeah, this trip we ll be on the road for 4 weeks  Working 4-6 hours a day is part of the deal...   Personally, I enjoy being able to connect... There is a strech that is out of reach for 8 days... so that will be true - Hammack and blender time

Why do you want to be hooked up?  Isn t the point of camping to get away from it all?
