good line.
low latency is important. but I'm not having a good experience with it
at the moment.

I just got an EVDO card for my laptop and I'm finding the service is

Does anyone have anything positive to say in behalf of the EVDO
experience? I have till Jan 1 to turn the card back in and cancel
service. I think I'd rather spend all day cracking WEP encryption than
endure this for much longer.
I love EVDO. It is actually the only wireless service that allows me to do
my work on the road, whereever I am. (Anything from ssh'ing in, to remote
console is fairly usable). Every other wireless service has latency of
500ms+ (kills any kind of interactive/ssh work), EVDO is 150-200ms
(dialup-like, slightly annoying but at the usable point).
EVDO makes life worth living.
