I'm going to have to try these guys. Verizon fell off a cliff recently in performance.

I've been using my tethered Verizon Blackberry this summer, only $20 extra a month and 2 Gig of data, plenty for everything except video.

All spring I was getting between 400Kbs and 900Kbs depending on signal. Last few weeks, I get five bars and 10kbs to 50kbs in the mornings. Sometime i get 200Kbs in the evening but no where near what I got before. Another person in the marina has the 3G Verizon stick and has the same issue.

It's not just the wireless signal, it's the network behind the signal as well. Verizon has great coverage and I love them for that. But they just don't get data, a bunch of Bellheads.
