 about 1 days "Verizon customer support friendly, OK speeds if you use EVDO rev.A in strong signal area" "EXPENSIVE, speeds too inconsistent while moving faster than 10mph" "Go w/ for Verizon only if you get voice & data together, it's cheaper. ALSO make sure your wireless card is EVDO rev.A"

So after a few days of testing, of which I will update again soon, I have been averaging just about what they claim, 700kbps, with burstable speeds of, well, I don't know....I did see a top speed of 3000kbps in my log, but I don't know if it's possible. However, when I am in an area with great coverage, I can easily average 1500kbps consistently. Below is my plan, all the features included, the hardware I use, and what I pay for. Also I have some ping times below.
