| Re: Good for them There are wireless modems/routers now that you pop an evdo card into and you can support 1-5 users or desktop, laptop etc, you should check your coverage first, then research, Linksys, Junxion, Airlink routers to see if this is what you need - is definitely supported by Sprint if the wireless coverage is there  | |

@144.226.x.x | Hey,
There will be a Linksys router hitting the market shortly that will allow you to plug the air card in the top and allow you to access the internet. I think it will have up to five ports on the back. | |

| Re: Good for them we are covered by their wireless broadband but would you think it is really that costly when I only have the choice of 24.4 k dial up and hugesnet sat internet. Seems like about 80 dollars a month would not be that bad if my only other choice would be around the same price with a sat. going with sprint of course | |

If Sprint and they don't cap you, you could use quite a lot of bandwidth. If Verizon, you'd have to make sure you followed their terms of service and weren't using it to stream music or videos, etc. or they could drop you. The cost is reasonable if it fulfills your requirements and you can afford it.

| Sprint now has phones that connect to computer via USB and it will give you EVDO speeds. The new 7130E blackberry and the new 700 Treos have this capability. When you have the unlimited plan for wireless it comes out inexpensive since you can use the phone as well. | |
