|
| Are Connection Cards any better at pulling in a signal than phones?
Thanks!

Not in my experience. I tend to get slightly more consistent
performance from the Novatel cards versus the Sierra cards, but both
are roughly on par with any of the handsets I've used. YMMV

Not what I wanted to hear! <g>
By the way, here are the latest Data offerings:
Connection Card:
40MB - $39.99/mo.
Unlimited Data $79.99/mo. (Sprint is currently running a special: $59.99/mo.*)
Phone-As-Modem Data Pricing:
40MB - $39.99/mo.
Unlimited Data $49.99/mo. (Sprint is currently running a special: $39.99/mo.*)
* If combined with a Sprint PCS Plan and a 2-year subscriber agreement.
Unless Phone-As-Modem Data Pricing is selected, customers using a Sprint PCS
phone as a modem will be charged $0.02 per kilobyte for data usage.

| I have the connection card with an unlimited plan. I usually achieve
2Mbits/sec. Not bad.

Not bad at all. How are you measuring that, with Internet speed test
sites or by running a utility locally, such as DUMeter or NetPerSec?
(Until I know more, I'm thinking your speed might be a bit overstated,
especially if you're using an Internet-based tool.)
