I am so excited. I just got a new Verizon Wireless UM150 USB Aircard. This thing is awesome!!! It gets broadband speeds in my office (where my Verizon phone doesn't even get a signal), at my house (rural South Carolina), and everywhere I have tested it so far.

Since it is USB, I can use it in my desktop PC at home also. I unhooked the cable modem last night, and tested in the desktop. The internet is actually FASTER using the aircard than it is with the cable modem!!! I am calling the cable company today to cancel their service.

The aircard is only $10.00 more a month than I am/was paying for cable internet, and I can take it with me!!!

I highly recommend this card!!!

BTW - I am not a Verizon employee (not even that satisfied with my phone). But...I do love this wireless card!!

How much is it?

The card was free. Monthly service is $59.99, I think. I'm paying $40.00/month now for cable internet, so it is only $20.00 more for ability to go anywhere.

Is it worth it? I'm looking into buying it.

I've been thinking about getting one of these (Different carrier), but I'm not sure if it will be faster where I live. Think we have slow transfer speeds (EDGE or something like that? I don't know much about cell phone infrastructure.).

I just purchased a Sprint Sierra Wireless AirCard and it is the best, I don't think I'll ever turn away from it.

For it being completely wireless it has incredible speeds.

I'm coming off of Dial-Up, so of course I'm amazed, but even back when I was on DSL I don't think it was this fast.

Um so u know the unlimited plans still have limits. I believe the unlimited plan is capped at 5gb a month.

Hopefully you never have to bring your laptop to my neck of the woods. The Verizon Aircard service provides less than Dial-up speeds here. My father has to do it when working insurance claims and it often takes 30-40 minutes simply to connect to the company network.

Man I used 3 kinds of cards in the last 1 and a half year... I live in Southern CA = L.A.
I'm glad that u like it but believe me! now I hate those cards, a real headache, make me stay on my bed hours, gain some weight, hands hurting so I have to cancel that... ready to go DSL! more stable...:up:
