Cricket Launches High-Speed Wireless Internet Service in Buffalo
Buffalo – October 21, 2008 – Buffalo now has a new option for high-speed wireless Internet access, as Cricket launched its wireless Internet service today. Cricket Broadband provides customers with unlimited high-speed wireless Internet service anywhere in Cricket coverage areas on their laptop or desktop computers.
“We’ve provided Buffalo with a fresh alternative to wireless service since 2002, and our Broadband product provides the same, unique freedom of unlimited service anywhere around town,” said Vic Viola, district director for Cricket. “We think our customers are going to appreciate a lower cost wireless Internet option that provides them with a great service and mobility.”
Cricket’s network relies on the power of the latest technology, high-quality, all-digital CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO wireless network, which provides customers with speeds comparable to DSL, plus the mobility to use it from home, work or on the go.
As with Cricket’s cell-phone plans, Cricket Broadband customers never have to sign a contract to take advantage of the unlimited monthly access. The service costs $35 per month for existing Cricket mobile phone customers and $40 per month as a standalone service. The service works on the UTStarcom UM100C tri-band USB modem, which is compatible with Mac and PC laptops or desktop computers – anything with a USB port. It is available for $59 after rebates.
