Going Wireless Most Places You Go - New York Times
This 'basics' piece describes in detail the cellular broadband services offered by the primary cellular carriers. During this cross country trip, we had access to Verizon's network, I'd estimate 85% of the time. As we passed through or close to most major cities , we could connect at high speeds using Verizon's BroadbandAccess. While in more rural areas, we could connect at dialup speeds nearly everywhere we could get Verizon service.
I'm writing this post from Illinois Beach State Park on Lake Michigan, about halfway between Milwaukee and Chicago (near Waukegan, IL) connected to Verizon's high speed network.
All in all, I'm very impressed with the service and would recommend it to anyone traveling in the U.S. It beats searching for WiFi hotspots and there is no comparable service to cellular that enables you to remain connected to while travelling by automobile.
It really is wonderful to be able to browse the Internet or do email or search for directions while traveling America's hiways and byways at 60 mph.
