My card worked great. But, last week it worked none at all. I was in Monroe La. Could get all the bars but so slow I could not use it so I hooked onto my brother's sytem while we were there. The 3g store tried to help me but we could never get it to work. I just figured there was no Verizon and I was trying to roam on another network that did not like me at all. As soon as we got out of Monroe it was back to normal. I was no happy camper losing a week of my Verizon. That was the first week long problem that we have ever had and hope to have no more of them.

Both with my AT&T aircard and the Wi-Fi system here at the MDS camp. My outlook mail DID work... Sounds like there were major gremlins in the ether yesterday...

That's why it affected everyone, AirCards, WiFi, DSL, etc. That's also why you were showing a 5 bar connection, but no data was flowing. Your connection with the cell tower was fine. Other possible problems can be that Webservers are down. Web and Email (thru Windows Mail, Outlook, Outlook Express) are different data paths. You can have one work and not the other. If you suddenly have problems with your connection, and everything seems OK on your end, and you haven't changed anything, it's usually not YOU! Stay safe and we'll see you in Ohio and Yuma!

I thought it was interesting that my gmail access (using Outlook) worked so I could send and receive messages while websites stalled and failed to load. The grandkids, who normally fight over using my laptop, opted for mom's laptop running on SBCGlobal.net because Grandma's computer was too slow for their game playing. All is well this morning. - Judy I had the same loss of signals over the weekend in Pleasanton, CA.

I did all the stuff you did with the same results. Pretty annoying to say the least, but then I remember when stuff like that happened with the Hughes Dish quite a number of times. I was going to call Verizon, but decided it wasn't that important. I wish one of your readers had called so we had the answer, but... We’re in Scottsdale and the same thing happened yesterday.
