    Cricket broadband is slow and erratic,even from a fixed location.Speeds have improved somewhat, but they trail the local competition. Will probably drop them for clear and/or T-mobil in the near future, as I replace many laptop functions with a Blackberry. Their service is slow and erratic, averaging 400, with high latencies. Their customer service is also erratic, with widely divergent quality and fees. They wanted, for instance, $15.00 for implementing a modem change at one office, and nothing at another.

    Canceled service after having bandwidth throttled over 5GB. This service just isn't worth having due to unreliability,crappy customer service,throttling and bandwidth caps.

    I bought it as a temporarily solution to hold me over until I get Verizon DSL. I was fairly happy with it around 1:00pm but around 3:00pm the latency jumped from around 150 average to around 250+ then at around 6:00-7:00pm my game servers were reading OVER 1500MS latency! You can't even attempt to play at those latency's.

    Anyway don't buy if you plan on doing any gaming, unless perhaps you only try to use it very early morning/late at night.

    Can't steam youtube videos without constantly needing to pause to buffer.

    Advice about 'Cricket' Broadband

    I THINK THAT CRICKET BROADBAND DOES THE JOB. I SEE IT AS MAINLY A SLOWER BROADBAND CONNECTION TO USE ON-THE-GO. IT DOES THE JOB... CHECK EMAIL, BROWSE THE WEB, MAKE PURCHASES AND MORE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND GAMING OR ANY HEAVY DOWNLOADING. AGAIN, THE CONNECTION IS FOR ON-THE-GO USE. IT WORKS VERY WELL CONSIDERING HOW REASONABLE THE PRICE IS PER MONTH. IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN OLD FASHIONED DIAL UP.
