Fastest wireless data plan for laptops?

Question

I travel in my work, and I'm sick of hotels charging $10 a night for internet access, or not having internet access, or having it, 'but it's broken', etc.

I'm thinking of one of those plug-in devices that connect your Laptop to the internet via the cell phone network. But I want SPEED! what's the fastest network out there for that? Reliability and cost is important too, but not as important as speed.

Answer 1

Verizon currently has the fastest network for these type of services (EVDO is proven to be several times faster then EDGE or 3G).

When getting a card, make sure you get a card that is "Rev A" capable. Verizon just upgraded their network, but is selling both the older 1X and the newer Rev A equipment.

I travel all the time and use this solution. It is great because you can use it anywhere... On the train, at the airport, even in a moving cab.
