I'm talking about computer access to the net via cell providers, not land-of-the-giants access to inky-dinky websites as viewed through a 100x100 cell display.

i.e. My carrier (Verizon) offers "unlimited" net access (100-400Kbps) for $79/mo plus the $100 PCMCIA card.

The cost/bit isn't good when compared to cable or dsl, but this is for mobile use which I'm finding would be increasingly useful. I'm just looking for feedback on quality of service from any carrier. Last I tried was 5yrs ago through Sprint at ~$1/minute. (choke, stumble, gag, repeat)
