I have the Verizon unlimited plan. I have an AirCard 555 from them(old style). They have newer and better cards. I travel all over the US on business and connect when their service is available. I would say it is trully about 80% of the US. They do seem to have a large dead zone in the central states, ie. Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming.
They use an Accelerator program from Venturi to get faster speeds and the newest version is really good. I have never had a cable hookup so i tell you what the speed diference really is. It is vastly improved over dial-up.
When i got it originally, it was $100.00 a month for unlimited, but they dropped it to the $79.00 amount when Sprint came in with their services. I find it well worth it as i can be online almost constantly from Florida to Central Texas. Even get some pretty good signal out in the Calif. desert.
The newer PCMIA cards are supposed to be better and they have True HS conections in some of the larger metro areas.
