I hope everyone in the path of the storm is recovering well.
Yesterday I tried to get our systems online with a generator. That was
no problem. But I was hampered by not being able to get internet
access. Our previous plans included using a cell phone for internet
access. This worked in the past, but this time the service during the
outage was horrible. Turns out that AT&T's old 3G and 4G service just
isn't keeping up. I didn't have a 4G-LTE phone which is supposed to be
better, but I did have a T-Mobile Samsung unit. Thing is this will not
tether to an XP machine without certain drivers and I couldn't download
them through the AT&T phones I had. I was able to connect to a laptop
with Windows 7, but I couldn't get the LAN to be able to access this
service.
What do other people use and what should I be looking at for internet
access during such a situation?
