Internet access is hard to find when traveling on the road. The best thing to do is to carry your own. I have tested 2 different carriers for Cellular internet access and have found that Verizon Wireless seems to have the best speeds and up times. I used Sprint's 4G Overdrive device and found that I could not get faster than 256K on most occasions. I did have the opportunity to use it in Atlanta GA where 4G is being delivered and was able to get a somewhat impressive 1MB down session. After months of not being happy with the 256K, Sprint finally let me out of my contract and I decided to go with Verizon's 3G MiFi 2200 device. On most days I get around 1.5MB down and that's on 3G. I am anxious to see what kind of speeds will be available from the 4G that is going to be released in Dec of 2010.
As far as plans are concerned, Sprint is offering a 3G 5GB a month for $59.95 and 4G unlimited data. For Verizon, they offer 5GB a month for $50.00 and 10GB for $80.00. Verizon has not released any information on the 4G plans as of yet.
