I currently use a Sprint Card. Connection is fast, almost instant. haven't
had a droped connectition sence installation. and there covorage is great.
Speed... stays around 600k, they claim averages around 1500k.
hey i have been using sprint Evdo Air card and their service is excellent
and the speed is unimaginable .So far i think it is better than my DSL
cable speed.
I have to agree, I use Verizon's EVDO and it is solid. However, HSDPA I
have also used and it appears to have a throttle on its bandwidth. It
still fast but the past year's kinks were being worked out of the system so
stability was an issue in the past year. As of late I have had no issues
with Cingular's network (past 6 months).
I am using the Verizon EVDO and nice too. i have no problem with it.
