In the article, "Review: Which 3G network is the best?" AT&T’s LaptopConnect comes out on top!

The author, Brian Nadel, explains his process in testing AT&T’s LaptopConnect, Sprint’s Mobile Broadband, and Verizon’s BroadBand Access. After five rounds of testing all speed readings, which includes: connection time, the Alken speed test, and page loading, "AT&T’s network [leaves] its competitors in the digital dust."

Nadel goes on to describe how AT&T’s LaptopConnect gets you online with the fastest connection available. With average download speeds of 755Kbit/sec and average upload speeds of 484Kbit/sec, AT&T dominates its competitors.

After being approached by the Make-a-Wish Foundation of Northern Nevada, we gladly decided to volunteer our services. We threw Katy, a seventeen year old girl from Gardnerville, a birthday celebration with cake and balloons at our Carson City location. Katy’s wish was for a shopping spree and at the top of her list was a cell phone. We helped to grant that wish by donating a pink Sony Ericsson Slider Phone, a stereo Bluetooth headset, and a 2 giga-byte memory card. The event was a hit!  Katy left with a huge smile on her face.

Here are the still shots:

• Picture #1 is John Coman, owner of JC&C, with Katy as she is trying out her new phone.
