@matigo Prepaid in the US is not nearly as convenient or as cheap as it is in, say, Thailand where I was able to buy a $10 SIM from a Kiosk that included call credit and 3GB of high speed data which expires in a week.
T-Mobile has a travel SIM deal [prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com], which is $30 for 2GB of high speed data for 3 weeks. Don't believe AT&T has a short-term tourist plan.
@matigo LTE can provide adequate speeds if there is backhaul and spectrum to support it.
In the US, they are still clearing away spectrum previously used by television stations that will be repurposed by the mobile operators. Existing phones also don't necessarily support that spectrum.
So, yeah, it's not nearly as fast as it could be.
@matigo I still need to have a laptop because I travel a lot. From a functionality standpoint, either Windows 10 or Mac suit me ok (I use both).
Now, if Android weren't such a security gong show, I'd consider dropping the iPhone too.
Been a while since I shared one of these. My #bgnow has been fairly steady lately, which is a good thing. Not quite where I want it to be just yet, but it's getting there. #diabetes #T2D
@matigo Adam Curry has also recently switched over to the PC. Not necessarily for technical reasons, but because he thinks Apple doesn't exactly have our best interests at heart. Which, sadly, I'm inclined to agree with.
@matigo the last time I went somewhere with my wife on a trip was two years ago. She took a large suitcase, I took a backpack plus my CPAP.
Granted, I take a bit more on business, but not a large suitcase worth.
