Is it not possible to use a dongle? I've found mobile broadband dongles to often be a lot better at providing a consistent connection. But ofcourse this all depends on your provider.

@Suzzanne, Have your tried ringing the customer service team of each to find out. I think all the broadband providers do offer both contract and month by month tariffs.

Hi. I am looking at getting a broadband access card. Do you know if you have to enter a contract with the phone companies or are they month to month? Which do you recommend – Spring, Verizon, AT&T?

Which card was better: AT&T or Verizon?

It’s interesting that these cards aren’t getting press (although not that interesting – it’s a pretty boring story on the whole; not like ‘Company founded by 23yr-old college drop-out *supposedly* gets $10Billion valuation from Microsoft’). A more interesting though would be what the cell companies could do with them. I’m sure they’re getting some uptake from business users. But what happens when they can really integrate this technology with their phones (when they get a decent opsys anyways)? They’re doing well in marketing them with new Dell computers. But it seems as though there’s more icing on the cake then you may be giving credit for.

And free wifi? I don’t know. Even phones, water, and electricity aren’t free.
