Edge - shit.

3G is where it's at. Sadly, because Kentucky is full of filthy poors, the network isn't up, even in the "civilized" Kentucky town of Berea. You have to go thirty miles north to Lexington before you hit the land of 3G awesomeness.

Anywhere outside of Louisville is a shithole. You should be used to it by now. By hey, a trailer with a UK flag, a meth lab, and a country road is what its all about huh.  ;)


I wouldn't use that network too long though, I heard the companies get pissed about that and send you a letter to stop, but for only a week it shouldn't matter.

If you have an unlimited data plan, you don't have anything to worry about. No data plan runs 1 cent per KB I think.
