Wi-Fi at OSH
"Dave Butler" wrote in message ... I've done a little prep and found some potential wireless hotspots within about a mile or so of the North 40. Here's my list, in case it's helpful to anyone else: Locations on Koeller: from the N40, go W to US41, then N to Koeller. Fairfield Inn Oshkosh 1800 S Koeller St 920-233-8504 Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar 1700 S Koeller St 920-231-8770 The Cafe at Basic 1622 S. Koeller Street 920-231-1177 The UPS Store #01250 1528a S Koeller Rd 920-231-1623 Starbucks Oshkosh Hwy 41 & 9TH 1150A Koeller Street 920-231-7208 Hawthorn Oshkosh Hotel Suites 3105 S. Washburn Street 920-303-1133 From N40, go W to US41, then S to hotel. "Hilton Garden Inns has complimentary access available in the hotel public areas and guestrooms of many locations. Check with each location for availability."

connection & Edge is about 200k I teather to laptop and I have internet and weather most anyplace frizz weather is great for getting weather on the phone winds and all . I use my Verizon aircard in the laptop and get about the same kind of bandwidth. It's become my only broadband link nowadays since its so portable and I can use it anywhere - at home, on the road or in the air. My hometown has EVDO rev A but most small towns have only 1xRTT bandwidth and that's still fast enough for getting the weather. It works pretty well in flight too, provided I'm near enough and over a VZW tower and not too high to pick up multiple towers and confuse the aircard. Operating the laptop while flying solo is a bit distracting so I usually land at an enroute airport to check weather if the skies start looking like crap when I'm by myself. One of these days I'll probably upgrade to a 396 or 496 with XM weather, but right now I don't need to spend that kind of extra $$$. |
