I drive a tanker cross country. Connection is very important to me so I asked a lot of questions about who had the best card and most access points. Since I bought this plan I have had very few problems with connections. As long as I have 2 bars on my phone I am on the internet faster than 56k. Some of the speeds I get are great, some are,,, well, better than dial up. Latency gets to be a problem sometimes, but you get used to it. All in all if you travel a lot and go to some out of the way places I would recommend Sprint.
If you look at the sprint charts and look for my name you can see some of my speeds and I put where I was when I did the tests.
Update: here it is a few years later and things are what they are. In different areas of the country I just fly and in others they suck. It is interesting in the fact that some of my best speeds were out in no mans land. Case in point I was at a rest area in the middle of Kansas and had almost a 1.5 download. Yet I was in Conley Ga (just outside Atlanta) and
was barely connected. Still I would be in with-drawl without my Sprint card.
Yet another update: Here it is a year later and I am still with Sprint. i have compared my speeds with other drivers and it a hit or miss situation. I may be at 756 down and the guy next to me on verizon is barely connected. Then the next town over he is flying and I am running at barely over 56k. i will be staying with Sprint for the time being and when my contract is up I just might change, Then again I can get very lazy about this stuff.
