 "VERY happy that Alltel took the lead by providing EVDO to rural areas"
 "The standard Alltel sales people and tech support know NOTHING about EVDO"
 "If you are a techie, and can set up your own router, this is a great last mile choice!"

It was a joke getting started in EVDO. I had WildBlue for over 2 years, and truly did love it. However, EVDO became available to me and I jumped at the faster speeds, no limits, and minimal latency.
The joke was dealing with Alltel sales people who sell cards, and even sell the Kyocera KR1 router. They assume that if you can get the card connected to the router, you are all set......WRONG.
Anyway, I took the task in my own hands, did a ton of research, and paired the 5750 card with the LinkSys (Sprint) router. It all works GREAT!!!
I do like the speed and flexibility of EVDO, thats for sure. This is our only internet connection at our home and we serve it up to 3-4 PC's. It ROCKS!!!!
Thanks Alltel!

Just added a Cyfre amplifier last night, and WOW what an improvement. My local sales guy did a great job this time, so I am bumping up their pre-sales score and the service is not disconnecting at all. Thus, I bumped up the service score as well. For now, all is going GREAT with Alltel!! - HDMan

All is still well, but, do NOT use the LinkSys router. I bought the new KR2 router from Kyocera and it ROCKS. 3 weeks, no drops, faster, etc.
