A day with EV-DO is like a day with no compromises

V740My day started at 4:30 when the alarm jolted me out of bed.  Yes, there IS a 4:30 in the morning too.  The early day was because I went into Big Oil Co. in downtown Houston where my work day started at 6:15, also in the am.  When I work at Big Oil Co. I have an office and I set up my HP 2710p to get a bunch of work done.  Even though they have WiFi available since they are not my only client I don’t like all of my email passing through the Big Oil Co. servers which would violate my confidentiality agreements with other clients so the first thing I do is plug the Verizon v740 ExpressCard EV-DO modem so I can tap into the Rev. A speeds of the fastest wireless broadband available to me.  I connect to the Verizon BroadbandAccess network first thing and I stay connected to it the entire time I am working in the office there.  The bandwidth is so good I forget I am not on a WiFi connection and I rarely, almost never in fact, have trouble with my connection.  At one point today I received three emails from someone that had attachments from 7 MB to 14 MB big and they came in so fast I didn’t realize how big they were until I opened them in PowerPoint.  Mid-morning I had a meeting on another floor so I swiveled the screen into slate mode and headed off to the meeting.  It wasn’t until I started receiving email that I realized my connection had survived a ride in the elevator and excursion to a conference room buried in the middle of a floor in the 30+ floor high-rise.  The connection never faltered.  I love my EV-DO.
