Actually... Sprint PCS Vision is $10 a month for unlimited Internet access, in addition to the normal mobile phone charges. I'm using it right now.... at home, connected to my computer. It's usually faster than my 56k. It's "3G" so theoretically, under ideal/perfect conditions it can reach up to 144KB/s. Key word "ideal"... it's usually more around 20KB/s for me around here, but it SEEMS a lot faster. Could be because this computer is a lot faster than the one hooked up to the copper wires too. Where you are has A LOT to do with how fast it is.

Best of all, you can use it ANYWHERE... almost. In a car... in a boat... in a tree... with a goat... in a hotel... in Wal-Mart...

It's pure <3
Yes, less than three ALL THE WAY.

Technically it comes as "Unlimited PCS Vision (the PCS equivalent of internet, essentially phone based internet, but carries over to laptop through the proper cable). It is theoretically 3G, but it's actually more like 2.5G, and while I have downloaded at around 12kb/sec, it's not quite as fast as they claim it could be. Either way, it's definitely faster than 56k, and I've even posted a few messages to CD through my laptop at a Borders book store/cafe a few times. Either way, my cell plan is 500 anytime minutes, unlimited weekends/nights, and unlimited PCS Vision (internet) for $55 a month. Not too bad for what I get... Occasionally I'll use my webcam in my car
