| Back-up ISP? Anyone have a back-up Internet Service Provider in case their service goes out? My cable broadband goes out from time to time, including last night, right in the middle of a tournament. The buy-in was cheap, so it wasn't a big deal, but what if it happened when you were playing a big buy-in? Maybe having a dial-up plan for emergencies would make sense. Anyone know of any good ones and how much they cost? Thanks. |

| If you have a laptop just get an aircard.... Worth the monthly cost imo. You could also buy a Cell Signal router.... They are a little pricey as they are new, but it will convert a cell signal into a workable internet solution at your home. |

I found a $7 a month dial-up plan that seems kind of slow, but I was briefly able to play 4 tables at the same time with it and then switch back to my cable broadband. Not a great solution, but better than nothing. I wish aircard plans were cheaper; maybe someday they will be and I can take my laptop with me and play poker anywhere that has cell coverage! |

I wonder if it's possible to log in to FT or Stars and play on an iPhone or iPod Touch? Probably not, at least until they come out with a mobile client. Flash-based might work through a browser on those types of sites, but I don't know if Flash works on the mobile devices. The Apple store has some cool Texas Hold 'em games, by the way, but just play money. My son likes them. Last edited by RogueRivered : 1st February 2009 at 12:06 AM. |
