[arm-allstar] vpn and port forwarding

[K5CG]

If you are not a Sprint customer already, you may be able to move your existing GSM service to Ting and then add a Sprint LTE hotspot (CDMA). Then you'll have your GSM and CDMA devices on the same Ting account sharing data, minutes and SMS messages in tiered pay-as-you-play plans. Their rates are good also.

SPRINT LTE WORKS!

I tested tonight Sprint LTE definitely DOES work with port forwarding. I
was able to ssh in and also connect inbound normally via IAX.

There are many modems and modem/routers available for Sprint. 1GB data is
about $18 month in the Philadelphia market. It is probably better to buy a
modem and use a router of your choice.

Verizon in its typical greedy fashion apparently goes to great lengths to
make it not work! If that continues to be their business model then they
will just lose business. The future is wireless and version 5 is being
rolled out this year with 50+ MB data rate. I doubt users are going to put
up with what they are doing now. This obviously is not a technology problem
but rather a choice to get more money.
