Sprint Nextel Wireless Broadband Card

Do you think wireless access will eventually become better, more convenient, and cheaper going through your wireless company than subscribing to Comcast monthly?

My primary computer at home is a laptop, my wife has a laptop, I use a laptop at work....

They're currently giving away the network cards when you sign up for a 2-yr unlimited plan. The unlimited data plan is $60, the 40MB plan is $40/mo.

We looked at this option at home... unfortunately we're in a semi-dead zone.

Buy this, and distribute the EVDO through the home. :)

You are getting basic DSL like speed for about $35 more than what you would pay for a DSL plan at that speed. If you travel a lot and need to use your laptop without having to worry about finding a hot spot then that's the way to go. Otherwise stick with the home service.

I agree Alex... at the moment regular broadband coming into the home is cheaper and faster... maybe more reliable. However, I do think the cost will go down after they get a larger market, and would think that competing with comcast and local broadband suppliers has to be a long-term goal with companies like AT&T ,Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile

For people who travel all the time for work, I think it's excellent. For someone like us who work 8-5 then go home, it's not really convenient or financially beneficial. Sprint boasts that speeds are supposed to be 600-1400 kbps by November

I have the Verizon version and love it, BUT I do travel all the time and it's worth it.
