Depends on where you are. There are many places where T-Mobile service
is good.

On Verizon, you have to look carefully at the offer.......

Unlimited voice....................................and data.

It doesn't say unlimited DATA....See?

It would be fun to test "unlimited data" on Verizon, again, though in
conjuction with the NY State Attorney General's office, just to see their
faces. We'll use AG Cuomo's Aircard....(c;

Wrong John, a discussion by analysists of yesterday's news mentioned
that Verizon's data is now tightly capped at one fo two levels. 50MB
or 5GB at two different price points. You do not get the 5GB at the
$99 price level!

T-Mo is a much bigger bang for the dollar than Verizon at $99!

That's Broadband Connect, not Nationwide Premium.

I never said you did -- Nationwide Connect is $140.

>T-Mo is a much bigger bang for the dollar than Verizon at $99!

Depends on what you want/need both in terms of service and in terms of
coverage.

Verizon's Data service continues to be WAY OVERPRICED! 50MB for
$39.99...you have to be kidding!

It's unlimited voice and messaging, not voice and data. You need to
understand the difference.

T-Mobile offers unlimited "voice and messaging" not data. Since they
don't have a data network in the U.S., they don't have to worry about
their network being overwhelmed.

Sprint is now the only carrier without an unlimited plan. If they really
want to trump the competition then they could offer a true unlimited
voice _and_ data plan. Unlikely since the reason AT&T and Verizon have
capped their data plans is because the 3G networks don't have sufficient
capacity for such plans. At $60/month for true unlimited data, a lot of
DSL users might be tempted to use 3G as their primary Internet connection.

Nah ... latency is too poor for many applications. The pipe is quite
asymetric as well.
