Re: ...
An angry, unsatisfied former Verizon Wireless customer I take it? Unfortunately, money's too tight for me right now to consider jumping service providers. Christmas shopping cost me enough money. |

with rev.A and the newer hardware I am able to achive over 2Mbps download speed, faster than my DSL at home! (my service area is Washinigton DC/Baltimore area) 1gb over an hour is very easy to achive if I don't move my laptop too much from point a to point b.. |

Verizon WILL cut you off and they couldn't tell me if you will still be responsible for the 'early termination' fee.. |

So if I went over 5 GB on Verizon's NationalAccess connection, I wouldn't have to worry about having my bandwidth throttled or being penalized to pay more for going over the cap? |

Very true. If your on 1x anyway, there is no way in hell you will be going over 200kbps (with EVDO, however, you can), so no need to worry about the 5GB/month limit |

The limit states that after 5 gigs it lowers your speed to 200Kbps which is should still be plenty fast for most people. Has anyone actually achieved this limit to see? |

Has to be a bug with the speed test then. Because I was dropping my mouth in shock over how the download rate was even though NationalAccess's speed is comparable to IDSL connections as you've mentioned.
But what I got was what I got. |

Rensselaer, IN | NationalAccess, which is 1xRTT, can only do 144 kbps max, so your Day 3 test is either wrong, or you are somehow on a very terrible EVDO connection. |
