Rumor has it that 1xEV-DO is coming to the Triangle this summer. I just signed up for the service 9 days ago and have since tried the Broadband access service in both Orlando and at a DFW airport (terminal C from the AA lounge). It is excellent. The service available in the Triangle now is 1xRTT and it certainly is slower, but I still find it usable, even with an IPSEC tunnel riding on top of it. I have the Novatel V620 card with unlimited access.
