Chuck Kuecker--

I realize that this might (in certain quarters, at least) be considered
trivial; but as I get older I find myself more and more becoming a stickler
for correct terminology -- *especially when troubleshooting.*  Modems are
not used for any sort of internet access except for dial-up (which is a mere
56Kb/s, if I recall correctly).  I rather suspect that what you have -- I
haven't done any googling of "cricket broadband usb" -- is, in fact, a
wireless network interface card (N.I.C.) that can fit into a U.S.B. port.
 Are you absolutely certain that this device that fits into the U.S.B. port
is, in fact, a modem? (and I've never heard of a wireless modem; typically
they're connected by telephone cable to a telephone line -- but then, my
experience with them is virtually nonexistent) Your ability to download
webpages that have video will be limited if that is, in fact, the case.
