Best Broadband Wireless networks

I hear that the Verizon EV-DO network has the fastest Broadband service but I hear that Sprint is catching up. Do you guys have any experience with either service.

In the UK you can get BT-Openzone. Ive used it a couple of times and it seems like it does a good job. Although it is only avaiblable in selected areas.

I'm happy with GPRS in the UK - I can't see myself surfing on the phone but for email the current system is perfect, especially because you only pay for what you download.

Yes, I'm looking for more info about the broadband lines in the US. It's interested that the UK already has some hot spots, I hear they are slow to open up new antennas.

I used Verizon, its really a really solid and reliable Network. I would suggest transfering if you can.

There aren't any available where I live, unfortunately. Small town woes.

How is surfing on the internet? Does it work well?

I know that Sprint offers a connection card that you can insert into your laptop. I believe it provides broadband or near broadband access. Now that they're partnered with Nextel, I'm sure they'll be expanding those sorts of services.
