<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/0"><b>anon</b></A> : Hello everyone,<br><br>I too had Millenicom service with the Franklin CDU-680 modem (supplied by Millenicom). I work from home and when I attempted to connect to the Millenicom service, no service available. I then talked to B... at tech support and was told by him " There is a long list of customers who had the cellular line they were using dropped". From that point on the VM messages I had left with billing and tech support at Millenicom were never returned.<br><br>I think it is very poor customer service, on Millenicom's part, to not give any notice to their customers regarding the impending drop of their service. <br><br>I talked with J... at Millenicom in August and was told they were seeking a new cellular provider to partner with them. So, it seems they had plenty of notice that this would occur.<br><br>After this experience, I called Verizon, established service and received a new Novatel USB727 modem. The Novatel modem outperforms the Franklin CDU-680 modem hands down. I currently receive approximately 2 Mbps downstream and 586 Kbps upstream. Needless to say I am very pleased.<br><br>To anyone interested, I strongly suggest getting the Verizon plan for the same $59.99]]></description>

Some of the posters here are lucky enough to have that service where they live.<br><br>As for you poor souls who got the Pantech and are experiencing miserable speeds, it's probably due to poor verizon coverage in your area, and maybe you are only connecting at RTT speeds, not EVDO.  You can thank Millenicom's idiot techies at the call center for this, and partly blame MCom themselves for not jumping on this situation and leaving it in the hands of know-nothings.  HQ knew fairly quickly what had happened, and many of us, including yours truly, were lucky enough to get our CDU's reactivated, instead of going for the swap, but even days later, people were <i>still</i> getting swapped by the GA team...didn't HQ tell them?

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/787648"><b>caribconsult</b></A> : I recently noticed a rash of users with problems with their CDU680 from Millenicom, and MC swapped it for a Pantech175 and that was the end of the problem, but I think the real problem was Sprint lost or deleted or deactivated the authentication sets (the MDN and MDID numbers you put in when running the activation wizard) for a large number of MC CDU users.  I don't have absolute proof positive of this, but this is the impression I got from the senior tech guy.<br><br>They were going to swap me a Pantech for my CDU, but the senior guy said to try re-authenticating with a new set of numbers he gave me and that did it...connected right away...nothing wrong with the CDU.  <br><br>So now I'd like to know what you new Pantech folks think of it?  Is it noticeably better or worse in any way from the CDU?  Does it have a ##DEBUG screen?  It would be good if someone started a thread for Pantech users so we could all get a feel for this new device that one day we may have to use.
