Yes and Verizon is cancelling people's data accounts at an alarming rate
for doing things such as streaming video and music and anything else that
goes against their policy of ONLY using EV-DO to email and surf the web.
Why people use Verizon as an example compared to Cingular is beyond me.
Not surprisingly, Verizon is against 3G routers whereas Sprint and
Cingular actually embrace it and have worked with companies such as
Junxion and others. I'm using HSDPA and have for a while and there is no
comparison but if you must use EV-DO, Sprint's policy is that you do not
run a server with public access over the EV-DO link.

Sadly, a few here are so consumed by personal vendettas against Cingular
that facts don't matter.

HSDPA is indeed very good.
