http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobileoptions/b roadband/index.jsp If you live in one of those markets, and you are reasonably close to a cell tower that is EV-DO enabled, you can expect 300-700kbps down or more. In major major metros I typically get 800lbps-1mbps down. I haul my laptop all over the place and people are taken aback by the fact that I have broadband access whereas they are struggling with their 802.11 cards (especially in airports). A favorite trick of mine is driving down the road (well, someone else driving), and I'm streaming live video off the web, at high resolution. It's amazing stuff. Right now most people have no clue what EV-DO is, so those of us who are keen to it and are willing to shell out $80 a month for it have pretty exclusive high speed access to the network. Once more people jump on the bandwagon, the network will become saturated and slow down i'm sure.
