| Re: FANTASTIC! said by JTRockville :This isn't promo pricing, is it? They were probably selling that service to business users for the most part at $80.
The price cut is likely aimed at attracting the non-business consumer. More sales even at a lower price will help build their customer base for the product = more $$$.
They might as well drop it now before some of their competitors do.

| Re: EVDO could fill in gaps of wired broadband Not quite. Besides the lack of speed compared to other wireless techs, EVDO is only designed to support a relatively small number of users per area. It's great for a mobile connection, but it's nowhere near to being a primary connection for any significant quantity of people. HSDPA might be closer to the real deal, but it's a ways away. | |

| Re: Att Wireless said by brk3b2 :Why is it that att only charges $30 a month for their service? Is there a difference between the 2 services? Because AT&T/Cingular's data speeds don't come anywhere close to Verizon's data speeds. EDGE, which is the fastest data service offered by AT&T/Cingular, is about as fast as Verizon's 1xRTT service (about 60-80kbps). EVDO smokes EDGE in every possible way.

Those speeds are low. I average 900 kps and burst to 2200. It's a real treat when dealing with large files and remote admin from a laptop on the run.

| Actually, as I recall EDGE (all capitals, it's an acronym) tops out around 150-160 Kbps, if you have a Class 10 device. And the data service provided by Sprint and Verizon is 1xRTT, not RXT.
Bosstones, you can't fall back from EVDO to EDGE. EDGE is Cingular, EVDO is Verizon. You're thinking of 1xRTT. | |

| One more thing... you can't compare EDGE and EVDO. EVDO is only available in 30-40 metropolitan areas, whereas EDGE is available almost everywhere. Besides which, EVDO is a 3G technology, and EDGE is 2.5G. The proper competitor to EVDO is UMTS/HSDPA. | |

If you need this service, $60 is a deal.

| .. It was never meant, and neither is HSDPA, to offer a replacement for your main broadband connection. This is only meant to supplement you when your mobile, and in the case of business users, always mobile.
I promise you won't see EVDO, EDGE, or HSDPA below the $60 price point anytime soon.. Simply because if it was priced below that, too many people will start to use it as a replacement.. and damn near bring the overall system to capacity.. as it is only meant to serve about 25 concurrent connections per sector. Now, i'm not saying the system is going to be unreliable or even slower as more users use it.. but if everyone started to use it as they do their primary at home connections, you would certainly see the difference. Only so much can be done with the air interface to keep it optimal. Reuse only goes so far, and spectrum is limited.
$60 is a steal. | |

| Anyone ever heard of WIFI? Honestly, does anyone actually expect to pay for such a service?? With SOOOOOO many WIDE-OPEN wifi routers in businesses and residences, how can Verizon actually expect people to PAY (let me re-phrase that, THROW DOWN THE TOILET) good money for such a service??
I mean really, with a laptop, and a good signal to someone's wifi.. you could actually use voip and ditch your cell phone
Another good idea from your uncle Earl!

10+ mb wireless will be widespread within 10 years. This number may be way underestimated too. | |
