As the topic states, do you have a suggestion on who could provide temporary internet service for 1 day or maybe even 1 week.
This would be in the downtown SF area.

Not sure on the bandwidth needed yet, but it would be a minimum of 1.5Mbps and a max of 20Mbps. Yeah i know that doesn't really narrow it down much.
Could this be done with Wireless broadband?

Oh and this would be needed in the next 6 business days.
Thanks in advance.

Cellular broadband EDVO is, theoretically, as fast as 2.4 Megabits per second. In practice, I believe it's more like 1 Mbps or less.

If you need to set up a server, you could pay for a co-location hookup at a data center, but I imagine it'd cost a ton for temporary service like that. The best shot for a personal connection would be a hotel.

it would be a shared connection for like 10 PC's.
i think the cheapest option would be to rent wireless broadband cards for each pc. it seems there are a few companies that lease them from the telecom's and then rent on a daily basis.

thanks for the replies.
