Default Verizon wireless internet

Anyone use it? I'm thinking of upgrading my internet connection, and Verizon wireless or a satellite are my only options. Any info appreciated.

I use Tina's. She has it for her Apple. It's great. Not cheap.

I have it as well- not cheap ($50/mo) but very useful as it really works ANYWHERE. Not as fast as a cable connection but if you're SOL it's definitely a quality option. For perspective, it's fast enough to watch racing online but downloads of decent size files take a while longer than cable.

that's a big plus!

I've noticed it's not unlimited, 5GB/mo. I believe. Is that ever a problem if say you watch a whole s*itload of races?

Use to use it all the time on my lap top when travelling. Worked great. Waiting til they have a special to get it again. A must for anyone who travels for a living.

Verizon offers FIOS here in Northern Viriginia which includes digital phone, high speed wireless internet and HD Cable. We have had the service for nearly 2 years and love it. One of the great features of the FIOS HD Cable, they carry both TVG and HRTV.

Switched from cable to Verizon Wireless in September. Always had problems with my with the cable internet, but havn't had a problem with Verizon. It's been great. I had to use their tech support twice for minor problems an they were great too. Now Im waiting for my area to get Verizon Fios.
