| I am in the same boat. Here is what I have found. The actual download speed of Verizion or US Cellular is about the same as Wildblue, while the upload is 10X-18X faster. The difference is the ping time. Ping is 10-13X longer with wildblue. So my research and trying card out shows if we are browsing the internet, the Aircards are much faster. However if you download a TV show off of I-Tunes, the Wildblue will get done first.
In response to a router, there is a company called Cradlepoint that sells routers your USB card plugs into.
Here we have two Verizion Plans available. $50/ month for 5 GB and $80/month for 10 GB, with a $10/GB overage charge. Considering I am paying $80 something for the 1.5 MB wildblue connection, I am changing as soon as my newe Cradlepoint router gets here. | |
