Thanks Digiblur, i will take a look at EVDOForums.com and see if I can't dig up anything. Gotta remember, I'm in Okie land, LOL doubt there is much out there, but will look, thanks for the info.

Tate I know what you are saying, I'm just hoping to find a alternative. When you've got the choice between satellite or dial-up for as many years as I have, when you find out there is something new, you've got to check it out. Yeah, for 1 GB over the 5GB's, is $52.20 by my calculations, LOL. Almost the same amount for 1 GB as it is for 5. Too bad Sprint doesn't have 4G in my area, because they have a unlimitted plan for 4G, but reverts to normal 3G if 4G is not available (4G isn't even in my state).

On the ping times, I've read it can range from anywhere from 50ms-600ms, but average is around 100ms. On my satellite connection, I am getting anywhere from 600-800ms consistantly.

On 1MB down, do I have to call to get that? It never changed for me, I am still at the old 700Kbps down and 128Kbps up package (during off-peak hours I get about 800Kbps give or take 50Kbps or so). I've got the original dish, but I upgraded to the HN7000s about a year ago. Know they offer it on their website but never changed here.

And finally, upload speed of 3G is much, much faster (granted that is the "advertised" but you might get less) than that of my satellite connection. 128Kbps max compared to 300Kbps+.
