[X4U] Verizon Wireless Internet Service

[Geoffrey Loeffler]

I am in a internet challenged area of San Diego and have been using  
StarBand Satellite, their price is $89.00 a month, I am lucky to get  
750 Kb downloads and am limited to 1 Gig per 7 days or basically 4  
Gigs a month. Plus they throttle or slow down the speeds when you hit  
about 700 mb or above in a 7 day period, down to 100 K I am tied to  
the satellite via standalone ethernet modem connected to an airport  
base station.

Verizon offers a 5 Gig plan for $59.00 per month. Nothing to jump  
about but cheaper and 1.6 to 1 m.b. down load so faster and not tied  
to a dish. Looks like the USB mobile connection would work good in  
my  PowerBook G4 1.67 Ghz. OS 10.4.11. Just wondered if anyone had  
used Verizons Broadband service for internet use and had any feed  
back on it.

Thanks
