My office is in a semirural area with not great DSL service. I am paying $75.00 for 768k/347k service which is very slow. I have recently upgraded to a different carrier for a bit more cost, but twice the speed. My plan was to discontinue the slower service and get Sprint 4g service with a phone that can act as a wireless hot spot for my office in the event the dsl goes down. When I called the slower service (oneComm) to D/C, I was forced to speak to my account representative who insisted that use of wireless internet would not be HIPPA compliant, he also stated that repair time would be much lower priority with the asymmetrical DSL of Verizon compared with the symmetrical service I have with them. Is he just giving me a line, or does he have a point.

Thanks,

Rich
