Got my VZ wireless broadband card today. Sor far best speed from speakeasy is 587/126. I am using it on an old HP Omnibook 6100 laptop with Windows XP Pro.

Are you in a  metropolitan Area ?
EVDO is supposed to be much higher than that  in major cities ?
I mean that speed isnt bad  IF it's KB's

I'm in the Dallas area. I did another test at home and got 742/96. Yes that's KB. My signal shows two bars at home. I may need to get the external antenna.

I moved my laptop to my kitchen by a window and got 820/102. Guess the speed definately is going to be affected by signal strength, although I still only show two bars. My VZ Wireless cell phone only has one bar at the same location.

Interesting,  friend of mine  lives sub chicago but when downtown, he claims 1.2mb..

I wonder if the broadband card makes a difference too? I have the V620.

I am sure it does.
I can see a difference in speed and rliability using  an Air Speed  108 Prtotocolg vs inbuild wireless  for example on laptops. the inbuild wireless cards have very limited reacch.
Anyways, back to original,  I found 3 WIFI spots in Blythe..get this one of them is McDoobies.......i guess they are supplying it now
