I can't imagine that you will be able to rely on condo wifi for the @Home service. Do a search on my blog for QoS (Quality of Service) test and run it on your connection. If it doesn't hit 85% or higher consistently, then you will most likely have problems with your service. Hopefully someone else that has actually used the HiPort router will chime in. I have not used it, but I wouldn't expect it to work well. Perhaps a more important question though: Did you just buy the service today? I was told a while back that T-Mobile would no longer be selling new subscriptions to the @Home service. That was at least 2 months ago. You do realize that eventually, even though they are not saying it publicly, eventually T-Mobile is going to pull the plug on this service... mark Corrine,

You all sound like you know what you are talking about and I feel really dumb. I got a hiport from TMobile today, but my service won't kick in for a couple of days. I was assured this would work without a router in my home. We have free wi-fi in my condo. Is this true? I feel really dumb, please help! I'm anxious, because I really don't want to have to return it...Thanks Okay, please help! You all sound like you know what you are talking about and I feel really dumb.

I am not sure what happened on their end but after escalating the call to a tier 1 support ( at t-mobile) person it was resolved within the hour. I hope this helps. T-mobile said i needed A dry loop i tried switching the connections outside the house and finally after over 3 hours of phone calls the problem was resolved. I hope this helps anyone having problems. I was also told to unplug both my (power)DSL connection from att mobile and t-mobile then connect the att power then the t-mobile modem/router and reboot then FINALLY it worked. if you have any problems Escalate to a tier 1 support tech and they can help. As of now it works fine , we will see in the days to come.

I just wanted to check whether my being unable to save the template was specific to my system/configuration/connectivity etc. I, too, would rather jump in and get started on the prototype asap, than waste time on devising elaborate storyboards! The reason I landed here is that I am looking for a few tips on rapid prototyping. I had useda word-based template once (not built by me, of course) where one could put the OST and graphics file IDs, select and populate different types of CYU screens, and finally hit a 'publish' button to quickly produce a module. I wonder if I could build such a macro-enabled word doc template now. If you know any resource from where I could pick up a few tips, that would be helpful! Thanks! Somdotta Hi Mark,

I was originally told that it did, but I tried it and couldn't get it to work. It was originally designed/built in PPT 2000 or 2003. Personally, I don't believe in traditional written 'storyboards' - I think the best approach is to just get into Captivate, PPT, or whatever tool you're using and do it. The faster you get a simple rough prototype done the better. That said, it appears that this particular template/post is my most popular on this blog, so I do plan on writing up a new template that works with the latest version of Word. But I can't say when I'll get the time. mark Somdotta,

Not sure which, but, as I stated in a prior post, I've had FIOS since early August 2009 and not a single blue-light outage has occurred since. I have had steady, issue-free @Home phone service ever since switching to FIOS internet. So I think whenever people have 'blue light' problems, the problem is either: a. They are doing out-of-the-ordinary stuff with their router settings/equipment. This is typically the advanced users who do settings that, in theory, shouldn't impact the @Home service but invariably they do. or more commonly... b. Their ISP is putting out a poor quality service and/or equipment. In my case, the problem was Comcast's crap internet service.
