    I dont know about through a cell phone, but Ricochet just went live here in Atlanta and claim 128k always on for around $70/mo if I remember correctly. I'm not away from a computer long enough to justify it to myself, so I have not tried it yet.

    On June 23rd, Ericsson demonstrated a speed of 384kbps on an EDGE/GPS network (here).

    The fastest mobile wireless speed I've seen announced on more than a test basis was in Turkey at 26kbps (here).

    Though if you don't mind not being able to surf when in motion, Richochet has 28kbps now, becoming 128kbps soon, in several US cities (here). Ricochet claims they can go 70mph, but some people on Epinions.com disagree.

    it seems that what you are really looking for is something like ricochet. they provide 128kbit/s mobile networking, which you could use from your car or anywhere else.
    unfortunately they only cover high populated areas, so you could use it for your work commute but it wouldn't work for your holiday trip going out of town...

    greetings, eMBee
