subject: 5 Things to Check with New York LA 4G Service [print this page] The Los Angeles and New York 4G networks are bringing a lot of expectations with them. Are the days of dead mobile internet truly behind us? Before you go awarding a service with best system ever' accolades, you ought to get your homework done and find out exactly what the network can and can't do. Here are five things to check on before you hook up a package of New York or Los Angeles 4G internet.
1. How does it work? At first glance, it will appear that nothing has changed between the new network and those which have preceded it. You have the same type of equipment (a smart phone or a laptop) and you do the same type of thing. The new system is all behind the scenes, so really all you need to know is that it's based on towers. As with cell connections, you'll find yourself almost never without a nice signal.
2. How fast is it? You are probably chomping at the bit and cutting people short every time you hear about a new internet service. To some people the only question is How fast is it?' Fortunately, the 4G network has a very pleasant answer to this question. It is at minimum a 400% increase on wireless speed. Instead of struggling through some websites with high resolution graphics and video, you stay on the move.
3. Where can it take you? Of all the things to check on, this question is perhaps the most open-ended. The 4G network is constantly growing. Because of the tower system, the network can roll on and on, as long as the towers keep being built. While you will notice that it's basically the metro area at your disposal right off the bat, the area keeps growing. If you fly off the hinges and end up way past network range, you can always pick up the signal of another, lesser wireless system. The technology is that good.
4. How much does it cost? It doesn't cost a great deal of money to get rolling with the new technology. In fact, if you already are using a laptop you are comfortable with, you don't need a new computer at all. Cell phones have to be ready for the 4G signal, but laptops merely require the USB modems already in use with the earlier networks. Monthly service fees are also remarkably low for a service that has upped the ante significantly in the wireless industry.
5. How long will it all take? Like the speed of the network itself, the amount of time it takes to get going is quite brief. You can think of it as the New York minute' style setup. The only difference is you get the same service in L.A. as you would in the Big Apple. Place your order and have your goods in the mail on your doorstep the next day.
