I have been on the road now for a couple of days. I had to say goodbye to my house and goodbye to my Internet connection, or at least that use to be the case. I downloaded and installed
TetherBerry for my BlackBerry, and I have to say that I am definitely a satisfied customer, so far. Turning my BlackBerry into a mobile modem for my laptop was actually very easy to install. All you need is to download a few programs, run them and they you are browsing the web on the go, from your laptop. You might think that it would be a slow and choppy version of the Internet, but from what I have seen so far it is working great and at a speed that is very usable. Now here is the best part about everything:
- You don't have to pay an additional monthly fee.
- There are no additional data caps.
- TetherBerry uses your current data plan.
- You can try TetherBerry for free.
- It is faster than surfing the net on your BlackBerry.
With all of this I see no reason why not to spend the $50 now, and have internet on my laptop for the remainder of its life. It sure beats paying the monthly fee and dealing with the data rate cap that I would have if I used my wireless provider's tethering plan. As for me, I am going across the country from Arizona to Alabama and then to Alaska, so I will have plenty of opportunity to see just how well TetherBerry works in a variety of different locations. I will keep you posted on how well my BlackBerry works as a mobile Internet connection.
