    My Other Reviews·DSL EXTREME
    I have nothing but good to say about Millenicom. They sell UNLIMITED EVDO over Sprint's EVDO network. You have no commitment to a long term contract. There is a $50 setup fee but you get a FREE EVDO device. In my case they sent a Franklin CDU-680 USB EVDO device.

    If next month I decide to end the service I am only out the setup fee and the service I paid for to date. You cannot do that with the "big boys" like Sprint or Verizon.

    The modem sets itself up in a few minutes and viola you are connected. All the software need is on the modem itself. It supports Linux, XP & Mac OS's out of the box.

    From talking to other Millenicom customers their support is ready & willing to get you the best connection you can have from your location.

    I can really recommend this company to someone who wants/needs mobile broadband but is reluctant due to the cost of the modem device & a 2-year agreement...

    These guys are the DSLExtreme of the MBB world!

    UPDATE: Well, since the forced switch to Crapizon my connection speed has dropped by 35%-40% and I also lost the ability to use my Cradlepoint CTR350 with the Pantech UM175 MBB device I was sent to replace the CDU680 by Franklin.

    I am completely underwhelmned by the service itelf now. Also in how this latest fiasco with Srint simply cancelling a bunch of accounts that were with Millenicom was below average for certain.

    As of now the best case I get about 800kbps/450kbps...and I have tested the connection as low as 140/35. I also find the more I use the connection during a session the slower it gets...can you say bandwidth throttling? I so do not like ding business with Crapizon even if it is via a 3rd party.

    I was consistantly getting 1200-1500kbos/800-900kbps with the Sprint based device. I simply am unsure what I will do now but I am considering cancelling my service. Much as I want to support a new growing company, I feel I am getting far less value for my money now and it is no where near worth the $60/mo it now costs.

    This is a backup service fro me but speed is important...though it has saved me tonight when my DSL just *poof'd* but the bandwidth is simply abysmal...
