Re: Verizon Broadband Card

You can take Verizon with you. It's low latency. It suffers less from congestion. But their TOS suck, even worse than WB.

Verizon over WildBlue. As CMoore mentioned, less latency, mobile.

I've never run in to problems with Verizon when I've gone over 5GB/mo. a few times though I'm a Govt. customer which may have something to do with it..

Avoid satellite if you can. You already have the card on the way..Give it a shot, just be mindful of downloads...

Re: Verizon Broadband Card

or better yet, go with Sprint's EVDO (if available), they let you do ANYTHING with their connection (the sole exception is using the connection for web/game serving....not that you'd want to do either with EVDO).

all in all, I get about 100ms ping time to Google, and 150-200 ms latency when playing BF2 online.

bandwidth? 1270-1280k down (max speed if the tower is only backed by one T1 line, Sprint keeps 256k for themselves). and 200-255k upload (this is using the router, which limits the speed [a known issue that Linksys is working one] normally it would be 500-600k up).

it's a great service; I don't have to have a voice plan with them, and I only pay $49.99 a month (SERO). With taxes, the total comes to $50.90; not bad, at all.
