GL: Broadband air cards

[Ralph Yost]

Sue
You didnt indicate how you intend to use this, and where you intend to use 
it. If you buy an aircrard for T-mobile to try their service, then later 
determine their converage is not sufficient, you will not be able to use 
that card with Verizon.

I have been using Verizon's aircard service since the first year they made 
it available. So far I can tell you that I am quite pleased with the 
coverage and data rates I have experienced.
For me, the choice is clear. Cheap is no good if it doesnt work. I would get 
the Verizon card. If you intend to do The Loop, my opinion is that your 
chances of getting aircard coverage will be better with Verizon than 
T-mobile.
