| Did we forget about Alltel's EVDO product???? While I think this was a GREAT article, there was one provider left off for some reason....Alltel. I have their service for $59 per month, I have no bandwidth limit, and they SELL routers for their service.
They may be a relatively new player in the EVDO market, they are gowing by leaps and bounds. Most Alltel stores sell out of cards within a few days of receiving them in this area. I'm just curious WHY Alltel was not even rated in this article.
I believe they are BY FAR the best choice for EVDO especially because of their roaming contracts with the other carriers.....

| I agree with Alltel and it is the best choice in Michigan. I pay $25 for unlimited tethered service on my phone with Rev O speeds. I travel all over below the bridge and the network works all over the place and not just on the highways. |

Which is nice if you travel between both network areas.
For the comment about about the 10 vs evdo speed (cable vs evdo), you would look pretty funny dragging your desktop around with you everywhere you do and will need a very long lan cable. EVDO was NEVER EVER marketed to replace wired service, however, for the farmer out in the middle of no where and unable to get coax cable service, as long as they are covered by a evdo "A" foot print, it's better then dial up.. and did I mention, you can take it with you, to the barn, the tractor or to town.. that's the selling point. I have HSI too but as soon as WiMAX is out, I'm moving to it. No contract. Speeds that compare to my current provider and it's portable. I live less then a 1/4 mile from a Sprint tower. I'm just waiting for it get deployed 1st qtr 08.  |
