Mobile broadband at Saratoga Springs

[The Joker]

I am staying at the Saratoga Springs for 3 weeks in May. I don't want to use the broadband internet connection in our villa (too expensive for 21 days, outlet is in the bedroom, want to use multiple devices on 1 connection, etc.), so I am looking at buying a mobile broadband dataplan. Does anyone have any experience with the coverage of the various providers in this resort? Sofar, Virgin and Verizon seem possible, but any suggestion is welcome!

Anyone, please?

I always just add tethering to my AT&T cell phone for the time that I am in the world and use that service for internet. It's like an extra $10 a month and works like a charm.

So I'm guesisng that you're NOT staying on points. DVC members get free Internet, and I think this goes for those that use Members points for their stay (aka renting points). A wireless router should be able to share the wealth if you go this route (just make sure it's secure).

What do you have for a phone? I j tether my iPhone when I need Internet access where it's not normally around. Just jailbreak install the appropriate software and you're golden...

I think the same can be done on an Android, no need to jailbreak (or root) on most phones.

I haven't tried multiple PCs to one phone, but I'm not sure why it coudln't happen.

I think a lot of the mobile devices that do this will ultimately end up costing more than just doing the $10 a day, even for three weeks. You can probably do an every other day and be OK. If you need it for work, then just expense it. I expense anything and everytihng I do that has a work component, otherwise I'm on vacation and then I don't work.
