Verizon Wireless Broadband Access

EV-DO will be here in October/November sometime....

[RidinRails]

alltel/sprint have had evdo for over a year now....

verizon just sucks

if your still looking for internet service in the DL area....just go to alltel and get a air card...it about the same speed as DSL and works anywhere your cell phone works.. ...cost $60 a month though.

I think its officially here!! I have had Ev-do since about 11 o clock or so today!!!

EVDO went live in Fargo today for sure. I noticed that right before lunch today.

Did a speed test and got 750k/sec down to my phone.

live permanently or temporarily.

I noticed I had it temporarily here (but I don't expect to get it all the time out here) the same I've had it for the last couple weeks.

towers will be where?

[DWeigs]

It will all run off of the same towers that all the cities have now... All they did was upgrade the service and tower technology in those chosen citys where the market is the highest...
