Just yesterday I reviewed Verizon's Wireless Broadband service. In a nutshell, I like it. It free's me to connect to the Internet pretty much wherever and whenever I want and I pay $59.99 a month for the service.

Of course, to connect to the service you need a special modem. Verizon gives you some alternatives. you can connect with either a PC Card or an Express Card Modem. Verizon offer's them on their web-site for $99.99 with a $50 instant rebate. So, you're looking at a net price of $49. Not bad. Or, you can purchase a USB modem like the Verizon Wireless USB720 EVDO Rev A USB Modem which at the time of my purchase was $49.99 with a $49.99 instant rebate. Net, net, it was free. Hard to argue with free, so I guess you know the road I chose to travel.

What I Like
Well, I already told you it was free and since I haven't changed my view in the last few seconds, I'm kind of fond of free.

The modem seems well constructed and it's been failure free since I've begun using it.

Minnie72Mouse says "It truly is as fast as broadband" about Verizon Wireless USB720 EVDO Rev A USB Modem (Verizon Wireless)

I was skeptical getting another wireless aircard but because I just got a new laptop that did not have a same slot as my old aircard, I had to do something.

I had the Sprint Sierra 580 before and was quite disappointed with it whenever I used it. Having wireless signals at home and a work, I almost always had Broadband speeds except for when I used my aircard on the go. It was like going back to dial up. Such a drag. I was stuck in a 2 year contract so I couldn't do much.

Switching to Verizon Wireless and getting this new aircard, the USB720, has been a huge change for the better. I get super fast speeds whenever I'm on the go and the coverage area is like my Verizon cell phone, always great. It plugs into my USB port which is nice because I know if I ever switch computers again, I won't have to change aircards. I can even watch streaming video! I am very pleased with this new card and am happy to report that it's been the best!
