• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Grlevel3 and Level2 Super Resolution.

You can't prepay for mobile internet usage with any of the carriers, as far as I know. Alltel (at least they did last season) would allow you to subscribe to a month-to-month plan provided you either owned your own connection equipment (PC card or USB) or bought it and paid for it in full from them. You could then terminate your contract after any amount of time, whether or be 1 month or 1 year, without a penalty. I bought a card off of eBay and then used this last year.

I had pretty decent coverage in the TX Panhandle with it. I'm not sure what the status is with their merger with Verizon, but that could only improve coverage. Last year, Alltel also had a roaming agreement with Sprint, so you could use their towers, too.

Again, this is all about what was available last year. I have no clue about this season. The only way to know for sure is to call each of the cell companies and ask them. Also, keep in mind that some of the companies have caps on their usage. AT&T has a 5GB cap, I think.
