Can anybody tell me what sort of data speeds I can expect with Nextel?
I'm looking for real user speeds not "expected" or "up to" speeds.

I'm wanting to connect to my laptop, either from my phone or a data card.
Is the Nextel data coverage the same as the phone coverage? Unlike Verizion
or ATT.
I have a Sprint data card now and just wonder if Nextel would be faster.

TIA
Brian

Using CSD (dial-up) I can get ~9.6kbps. Slow, slow, slow but it
works. I have been told that using PSD you will get ~14.4kbps but I
have not tried it due to the cost.
