Reply to Iansltx - about a cellular mobile card

I just purchased the Novatel Ovation U727 with the unlimited $60/month plan. I live south of Elgin, Texas. The speeds you are talking about are faster than what I am experiencing. I am getting around 400-800 kbps download and usually less than 150-200 kbps upload. I thought it would be faster than phone as a modem, but I am not so sure. I used my phone as a modem a couple of times and it seemed fast enough. I don't have access to phone as a modem any more so I cannot give you a comparison. You can always check out if the broadband modems are fast enough to warrant the premium - there is a 30-day money back guarantee. Maybe the fact that my property is surrounded by trees and that my wireless DSL modem tower towers high above my house implies why I don't get a good signal.

Well, sometimes I can speedtest, in good signal, at 1.25 Mbit down, 350 up...but maybe there are just single T1's to each tower around here, and that would explain why I'm not getting such great speeds.

I may end up trying out the Compass modem, but with the 5GB per month limit it's really not worth even $50 a month for me.
