Default Wireless not WiFi for the Laptop

Just wondered if anybody had one of these and what they thought of them.

I have access to a deal for a 'free' card and $60 a month. But it would save me $30 a month subscription for software I would not need and potentially even more if I could chop my home broadband. Though that might mean setting up some sort of home server.

Seems like the download would be 500k, fine for me, but 52k in weak signal areas.

I'd be interested in this also. I plan on a possible change of career shortly and wireless internet is going to be a virtual neccessity. I know that verizon do a $80 a month/$35 connection fee type arrangement with unlimited access but their coverage map scared me as it looked very "patchy" to say the least.
