Default Wireless internet while on the road?

I've been thinking of going with Sprint for internet access with their broadband card. Does anyone use other companies , is there one that's better than another or what?

Default internet

I personally have a treo 755 with sprint and I just use the phone as a modem whenever I need to access the internet on my notebook. It does EVDO speeds so its just as fast as the card. There is kind of a grey area in using your phone without paying for the internet PAM phone as modem plan. Works great and free.

I have used both the sprint & Verizon Aircards but found that Verizon has the best coverage and new broadband tower sites are going up all the time

I have only a little problem with the 4coners region but the rest of the country is great

The problem I found with using a cell phone for internet is if you link your laptop to the phone it works great till they catch you doing it and it also uses up your minutes unless you are doingit on a night & weekend plan

My vote is Verizon
