Review Of Verizon's New Wireless Network
jagger writes "The service gives you the speed of broadband, the ease of WiFi and the coverage of cellular... sort of. The service is currently rolled out in Washington D.C. and San Diego, CA but offers speeds comparable to broadband. Read the full review from Rob Pegoraro of the Washington Post at Yahoo News."
Sounds too much like a Ginsu..."It slices, it dices, it can even cut a steel can! Call now, operators are standing by!" Personally I'm a bit suspicious of products that claim to do everything, they invariably do at least half the stuff they claim but are good at none of it.
"Christ what a design! I could eat a handful of iron filings and PUKE a better emergency pump than that!"
This is probably why there aren't a lot of posts to this article, yet. Every Slashdot reader is frantically trying to order "boradband".
Show me on the doll where his noodly appendage touched you.
Are you kidding me? "boradband" has over 4,300 hits on Google! This technology is hot stuff!

Sadly, it also gives you the quality of Verizon.

I was troubleshooting a problem that my client was having today, so I traced his IP and found a misconfigured (jacked) router on the "myvzw" network. The thing was routing packets to itself, preventing anything from sending data to him........ "Can you get packets now?"
I can see the commercial now...
