Wireless internet service

Which wireless broadband services are you guys using and how well does it perform for you?

Verizon and it's not too bad, it's fast though! Sometimes it can go slow but where I'm at I don't get a good signal at times usually 2 bars and then at times I get all 4.

Now that I'm reading my opening post, I see that it's not exactly clear on what I'm referring to.

Wireless broadband for a laptop computer.

There are 2 types of wireless internet. First off, there's WiFi, which is what you find at the truckstops, McDonald's, Starbucks, etc. 99% of the time you'll pay to use WiFi at a truckstop.

The 2nd type is through your cellphone provider by using an AirCard. With this, you'll pay a monthly fee to your cellphone bill and add an additional card for your computer.

I use Sprint and I love it. There's very few places where I can't at least get on the internet. More and more places are getting 3G, so the speed is getting better out here.

Carlos, mine isn't an air card but it's a usb cable/port set up. So I can use it on my desk top when I get a new one or a laptop as well.

Verizon. It's about as fast as my cable modem in high strength areas, and even when my cell craps out I can usually connect(reminds me of dial-up in those areas, though). Great coverage, about $60/mo.

I'm with Sprint as well. I think I'll probably just end up using one of my PDAs as a modem and stick with Sprint.

I think (don't quote me, though) that a AirCard (USB, PCMIA or ExpressBus) are faster than a phone-as-modem.
