Yup, think I saw one or two posts on the broadband service on the Sprint
website, but nothing terribly informative. Also, found some good stuff
on dslreports regarding the so-called "unlimited" Verizon service--seems
they have a 5 GB cap/month.
One of the reasons I asked is that AT&T has a deal going on now such
that if you order one of their USB broadband cards (NOT PCMCIA), you get
it free. The catch is that you have to go for a 2-year contract. I'd
hate to get stuck on that only to find out the service is not as good as
Sprint's for instance. (Verizon is out of the picture now, for obvious
reasons!) AT&T price is $59.99/month for Unlimited; and, I haven't read
anywhere (so far) that they've set a cap as has Verizon.
