An alternate suggestion I've been using for the past couple of years is to use my phone as a modem when I need laptop internet remotely. The biggest advantage to this has been the need not to carry a card and the reduction in price (nothing extra). I'm not sure about verizon, but for sprint, the blackberry plan includes phone as modem support for no extra charge. My phone is old enough that it does not support bluetooth tethering for PAM so I keep a retractable USB cable on my laptop and use it to dialup when necessary. On sprint, I consistently get better than 1Mb... a bit slower when I use some funky software to make PAM work on linux (XmBlackberry since RIM doesn't support linux). One of my former staff members did the same on verizon with his treo for a while. Not suitable to replace a card when you also need to be on the phone at the same time of course.
