  2. EVDO card for Desktop on What To Do When Broadband is Not An Option? · · Score: 1

    You could try to get a USB device to wirelessly get a cell phone connection with EVDO speeds. The two fastest providers are Sprint and Verizon, because they both use EVDO... Cingular and T-Mobile do not use this, so their speeds are slower. I have a PCMCIA one of these Sprint cards, and I get 1mbit down constantly while driving in the car, and I lost my connection only once every 30 minutes or so, for about 15 seconds... Most of them are PCMCIA cards, for a laptop, but they do make some USB ones, such as the Aircard® 595U by Sierra Wireless. Before you get it, you should check if your area gets a signal. Type in your zip code on the side panel at the right, and when the map appears, you must remember to check the box under the map that says "Sprint Mobile Broadband Network". If your area receives no service, you should try to find out if Verizon cards get any reception there either. Chances are, if cell phones using Sprint or Verizon get reception at your house, then a USB card should, too.
