I'm up and running with the Cingular wireless broadband card with my laptop, an HP dv4000, as we speak. I'm looking at getting a Toshiba U200 Satellite because of the smaller size. I thought about a PDA but the screen is just too small for me and I need a keyboard. Either way back to Cingular and the connection with MT4.
My signal strength where I am varies between one and three bars. The max for the signal to get is five. My office where I'm using it has one main computer, two 19" LCD monitors, lots of florescent(sp?) lighting, cynder-block contsruction, with a 7' x 7' window. All of these except for the window can cause interference with any signal, cellular, wireless, broadband, etc. As far as the MT4 is concerned, even with a medium strength or weak signal, the server time with the broadband feed is exactly the same time as the hard-wired time. There is maybe a 5 second delay for orders to go through but I'm not overly concerned with that because I look at 4hr timeframes for the most part. MT4 has yet to loose a connection, boing!, even with the weakest signal. Web pages do take longer to load but the main reason for the broadband card is for MT4.
Set-up was easy, about 10 minutes. I'm going to let this run all day next week to see how things progress. I didn't bring in my power cord so I'm on the battery which is running low...Post questions if you have them.
