Yeah, I'm sure the slow MMS is because of the 56Kbps cap, but obviously slow is better than failure.

Funny enough, I haven't had any skipping since I got the box 2 weeks ago, but today, after about 400 minutes of phone calls (ranging from 20 to 90 minutes), it started skipping when I was more than 25 feet from the microcell, when before it used to work probably 50 feet ....

Before today, I made about 400 minutes of calls in the previous 30 days, so today was a very heavy usage day for me, and perhaps that has an effect on it...
