We have the "Sprint" card for our home as we don't have other internet access being in a rural area. It has a phone number for the account, it is about $70.00 a month just to have it. Then you have a cap on your downloading and you can sign up to get alerts and we have to because of how much we are on-line. We have gone over and it adds up quickly! We don't have a choice at the moment, so we have to really watch what we download. We are hoping to change it when we can change phones, we will look into the data plans for the four of us as Diego can start his own account with him and Kelsey.

the internet is ONLY wireless if your sailor pays for his our wireless router, otherwise they have a wired connection, almost all the guys have comcast because it is less expensive, you can also have sprint (a wireless card type thing) which you buy at the mini-Nex.

Yea I was wrong my husband told me he knew people in the BEQ with Comcast. Someone told me all they could get was Sprint, so must have been a deal that was personal to them and obviously not for everyone. Thanks for sharing that so I know for next time.

Hey everyone, just joined this site and wanted to introduce myself. :) My name is Dayami, I'm 21 (turning 22 next month.) I first met and got together with my Sailor (boyfriend) when we were 13 and after going our separate ways, we've been back together for the last 2 months. He is also 21 and an EM currently in T-Track. I'm from Miami, Florida and going to school in Gainesville for Nursing but I'm back home for this semester to work. Looking forward to getting to know all of you! :)

Yes they do have them at the NEX but definitely shop around. You can get some pretty cheap on Amazon or Overstock too.

Comcast is for the married folks, Sprint is used by the bachelors I am pretty sure of that. I know it is expensive. My husbands friend used it while he was in the BEQ and the cost was pretty hefty from what I heard. But yes, they do have it at the NEX.

Internet access is wireless but your sailor will have to set up and pay for internet. Comcast is the only one on base. They'll need a wireless router.
