Thank you for your reply, John. I recall T working on wireless technology last year and heard recently T was thinking of spinning-off its wireless service. As a shareholder of T, I would definitely go with their wireless service over the offerings [sattelite,etc.] of another. The only thing that might hold me back from getting a faster connection is the price. Right now my acount is free and paying big-bucks while I still have use of my free account would be hard for me to justify--unless it is a *lot* faster. Regards, Lynn
