    a wireless sprint air card is the best way to go. depending on the one you get, it can cost anywhere from $200 - $300, $59.99 per month for unlimited access. be sure to bring in your laptop so they can get you the proper fitting one if you decide to go without the one that goes into your usb slot(s).

    yes, it's more expensive than t/a or flying j's wi-fi networks, but much better and more stable. sprint also has the most coverage around the country. just don't be expecting coverage in the middle of nowhere, much of wyoming, north dakota, south dakota, and montana. sprint just recently got some high speed coverage in weed, california.

    Same with Verizon - the coverage is far better than Sprint.

    There are VERY FEW places where I don't have a connection with Sprint.
    Wanna play a couple online games that are absolutely free? These are the games I play on a very regular basis:

    Expediting is different, but the same, but it's different. I'm so confused.

    well, it uses the same network as your cell phone-- I used to use Sprint PCS- then switched to Cingular/AT&T--- out west there are Many...many... stretches of road were sprint is completely absent- therefore, you'd be absent a internet connection as well.

    to be completely fare-- if the original question was which provider provides the best quality connection- bandwidth, speed.
    I did watch a guy with a sprint aircard- using SlingBox to stream TV broadcast from his home to the upstairs Crete-Marietta, Ga terminal one day...and I was impressed(and not usually easy to impress me) it handled it very well- not hang ups at all- a few second delay compared to what was on the local DirectTV playing on the tv in the room-- but still impressive.

    not certain if my AT&T connection would/will do as well.
