Re: bullshit 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. |
