subject: Las Vegas And Portland Have 4g Internet In Common [print this page] Las Vegas and Portland really don't have all that much in common. One is a city of lights and entertainment located in the middle of the Nevada desert; the other is a slower-paced green and scenic town located in Oregon. As different as they seem on the surface, they do have one thing in common: their respective residents have access to 4G internet service, and that's a big deal.
Most people don't think of cable and DSL accessibility as selling points for a city, but that wasn't always the case. There was a time when broadband was a revolutionary new product that was only offered in selected areas. Now it's commonplace. How cable and DSL were before is essentially how 4G is now, except for the fact that wires have been removed from the equation. Fast speeds and reliable delivery are still there, but innovative usage has been added to the mix.
This innovative usage comes in the form of being able to use your connection all around your city's coverage area. Subscribers can opt to connect a portable computing device to the internet using either a USB modem or a PC card. That means that you'll be able to use the internet at full broadband speed at your favorite scenic spot in Portland, or you can take it with you to your favorite restaurant or coffee shop. The emphasis in Oregon will usually be on trying to get out to enjoy nature, and 4G can easily enable you to do that.
Las Vegas is a bit different. Since it is located in the middle of the Nevada dessert, residents can expect to experience frequent episodes of sweltering heat. You probably won't want to use your internet outside all that often. Instead, you're probably going to want to use it indoors where there is air-conditioning. You might even want to use your internet in your home. Although 4G can be used in a mobile capacity, you can also choose to use it as a traditional, stationary connection. It will be light years beyond dial-up and faster than most cable and DSL solutions. The difference is that you won't need to sign up for additional services like cable TV or phone line service, which could end up saving you money.
If you'd rather not have a large electric bill, you'll want to take your 4G with you to somewhere cool. You could try taking it to a local bookstore, or to a friend's place if they have no qualms about blasting their air-conditioning. You could even take it to the strip and use it there. That's definitely something that will make cable and DSL users jealous. They won't be able to see anything special when they turn there head as they'll be browsing in their boring and cluttered room. You, on the other hand, will be able to turn your head and see all the excitement that Las Vegas has to offer. It will definitely add a new element to your internet experience.
