[TriLUG] Which wireless service is best for laptop

[Steve Hoffman]

We're currently using BroadbandAccess and the equivilant with Sprint. 
I haven't got my hands on the Verizon card yet, but the sprint card
works wonders!  I downloaded a 2.6.x kernel from kernel.org at about
130KB/s.  I have an EVDO cellphone from verizon that I'm able to use
as a wireless card for my laptop and enjoy roughly the same speeds.  I
haven't used it in FL yet, but I'm going to a trade show in Orlando in
January so I should know then.  The coverage area for both companies
is still limited to major cities, which is understandable considering
the cost to convert a cell site is still pretty high.  All in all,
I've been happy with both services, but I can't get my cellphone to
connect at high speed in Linux, but the sprint card works like a
charm!

Hope this helps,
Steve
