Best WWan service

I have used Verizon and before I sign up for new service I wanted opinion on Cingular and Tmobile. I am fine with external Pcmia card and not using the bilt in device.

 

Both are much slower, I used T-Mobile and was literally drooling with boredom and the wait it took to load web pages it was so slow compared to much speedier Verizon. Cingular is similarly bad, but not as awful as T-Mobile -- which you should absolutely avoid.

 

Sprint's PCMCIA cards are the fastest and most reliable. Verizon is second best.

 

Yeah, Sprint is good too, they're close with Verizon -- I've used both and perception wise couldn't notice much of a difference in speed.

 

Unfortunately You can not choose Sprint for your T60.
I want to buy T60 with WWAN but I think Verizon have a 5GB limit monthly.

 

I wonder why that is.

I tether with my Blackjack and its pretty fast if I don't use their proxy servers, and maybe their DNS servers, though those seem more responsive than a few months back.

*Ack I use Cingular.

 

I use Verizon and it's coverage is pretty good but the built in WWAN card in my Z60t is doesn't do Rev. A so it is slow. I can't comment on the others and would be interested in more responses because I'm interested in switching. I'm paying $80 a month for unlimited service and, while it's great being able to log on to the internet whenever I'm out, it's killing me cost wise.

I'm about to cancel the service when my new T60 arrives because I didn't get the built in WWAN card.

It's all a matter of location. Cingular's high speed network is just as fast as Sprint's and Verizon's if you're on 3G but depending on location the speeds may differ according to load and what tower you're pulling from. Verizon is the worst of all three. They have a download cap even on unlimited access of like 5GB a month and if you pull over that your service WILL be terminated. Cingular and Sprint so far have not enforced such restrictions on the unlimited. If you're out in a rural area and not able to hit Sprint or Verizon's EV-DO network then Cingular's EDGE will be much faster. For broadband in the city I would go with Cingular or Sprint depending on your location. T-Mobile shouldn't even be an option because they're not even in the boat.

Not really. The Sierra Wireless 875 from Cingular (which I have) is pretty fast. The Novatel Merlin XU870 Express Card which you can get third party and use is one of the fastest cards available I believe.
