• Verizon's "broad"band extremly slow
  I've own a Verizon data card for over a year now and the connection speed is becoming extremely slow. I tested everywhere including in house, on the road, airport etc. The avg download is about 400K and upload 140K. These are significantly slower than what I was promised at the store and the results of my tests when I first bought it (800K/400K).
  I called Verizon. The tech support guy was very rude and basically said this speed is normal and "broadband". He also tried to come up with excuses such as... more info

• One more step up.
  I recently purchased the PC5750 to replace my PC5740. While being sold on the specs by the local salesman, i was expecting it to be much faster than the previous model.

Try as I might and with Verizon support (they mostly suggested I do the same things I'd already tried), I simply could not get it to hold the signal, and getting the signal back was a... more info

• With the PC5750, Verizon service beats anything ATT has to offer
  I tried using an ATT USB 881 modem AND an ATT Option GT Max 3.6 card for my train trips from Morristown NJ to Grand Central and in the building I work in near Grand Central. Of the two, the GT Max was slightly faster. But the ATT network was like an intermittent dial-up connection; real slow, and lots of drops.
  Before closing the ATT account, I opened a Verizon account with a PC5750 EVDO Rev A PC Card. It's almost like a cable connection; 10x as fast as the ATT network, and a good connection ALL THE... more info
