And I think that speed is billed by the minute rather than data flow, so
it can get costly for the amount of data you are able to move. They may
have changed it but I think it is still billed by time. Same way with the old
GSM slow speed links, or at least used to be if they have changed them.

There should be 1xRT down there, I do not think there is much of the old
system left in the higher population areas.
