well, I heard sprint is really good.  with the pmcia card.  I have t-mobile internet service, but not the card, I use my t-mobile mda as a modem to my laptop, and usually get 250Kbps now in good service areas, only problem is the pings are high and it takes quite longer to load a page.  but I'm using it now to post while in the back of a van, so it's pretty cool no matter what, but with a pmcia card it would go faster.  and it costs $30 a month extra for this, and a pmcia card from tmobile it is $150 after activation and rebates.

sprint and nextel are the same thing, according to the guy here, except the walkie talkie bit
