I am a Sprint phone customer, and have been for years. I stay with them because in the areas I live and travel to, they have the best most consistent strong coverage.
However, because I have had multiple issues with their billing department and tech support in the past, I was loathe to try EVDO once it came to my area. Worse, when I tried to get questions answered about EVDO from Sprint, I got a lot of conflicting and incorrect information. Further, I was not especially happy with the cards offered by Sprint.
Enter Millenicom. They answered my questions promptly both by phone and via email. They rush shipped me a USB modem, the Franklin CDU 680. In 3 days I was up and running, and never went back to using my Hughesnet satellite internet.
My speeds have not been stellar, but the connection is very solid and decent latency, especially compared to satellite internet. My signal is a bit low. as I am in a bit of a valley and my modem is in the basement. I have ordered a router from Millenicom, and plan to keep that upstairs on the side of the house nearest the tower; I expect that will improve my signal significantly and the speeds will come up a touch as well.
