Re: Did we forget about Alltel's EVDO product???? said by Answer Guy: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. What Altel users (and sprint) is that Altel/Sprint have data roaming agreements. 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.  |
