I was thinking back to an earlier post, about AT&T’s 3G coverage. This time around, I finally had a choice to go with Verizon. It’s LTE, which is a better technology (and AT&T’s LTE is probably similar, but there isn’t LTE in Seattle for AT&T.) Here’s the results for my new Verizon LTE iPad (ignore where it says iPhone.

My post were sparse to begin with, but recently I’ve started catching up. But you’ll notice that there aren’t many photos. Why? Because the Internet sucks in Australia and New Zealand. When I first moved in with Tom and Felicity the connection was good, but not great. It also may have been the reason for some of Tom’s frustration.
