kudos:1 | bullshit Now how will you ever use that speed unless you build your own HSPA chipset for your portable device?
No CE manufacturer would dare, and no GSM carrier would ever allow such a device on their network.
And this 56/42 mbps of course is shared among all the users on the tower, 5GB limits anyone? |

Camden, TN | As long as they insist on 5 GB monthly limits and $250-$500 per GB overage fees the 1 Mbps you can expect today is more than fast enough.
there's a great deal of the country that can't get cable/dsl broadband and sateltie is a joke and these copnaies could make a KILLING by tapping into the MILLIONS of people that would like broadband but are stuck on dial-up. But no insist on 5 GB caps and what should be illegal overage fees. We have Verizon EVDO here and my friend that lvie a few miles outside of town( less than 1.5 miles from both cable and DSL by the way ) wouldn't mind giving Verizon his money since he uses them for cell service. But not at $60 a month for 5 fucking GB. |

Since when does Millenicom ride on the Verizon network?
That would incur an incredible performance hit versus their original Sprint EVDO. |

In the Sprint wireless forum a few people who exchanged broken EVDO devices received Verizon EVDO UM175 devices as replacements. It also appears that many, if not all new customers get UM175s.

Millenicom is a legit company and they have agreements with the carrier. Was with them for over a year with unlimited, no capped service. I was connecting via Sprint, but I believe all new customers now are on Verizon. I don't really understand what your deal is with assuming they are providing illegal service? If you can get a Verizon EVDO signal, you can get Millenicom. |
