Hello Ralph,
	I haven't seen any adverts from Xplornet advertising USB sticks so that 
must be something that they are coming out with. The ads I have seen are 
from Rogers, Telus and a few others. The USB wireless sticks they 
advertise here have a limited download starting at 1gb for $40 based on 
a 3 year contract. Is that the same as the contract you have? They 
wireless I have now comes from a tower. The download rate is unlimited 
for $55 ($54.99 sounds cheaper) plus a $10 equipment rental fee based on 
a 3 year contract.
