Anyone have experience with this company yet?

http://www.datajack.com/

I guess it's a newer company, and the online reviews are mixed so far - but, they seem to lean toward it being a decent deal, and no real surprises. It appears that they use the T-Mobile network.

With no contracts and weird fees, I was going to order one and give it a try - figured if it sucked really bad, I'd only be out the $99 equipment charge.

In perusing their Terms/Conditions area, there's no mention of an upload/download limit, or any extra cost for overages.

Seems intriguing that you could just activate it when you planned on going out of town, and wanted/needed some mobile data access beyond whatever Wifi hotspot you could find. Then, when you don't really need it, you can disable it temporarily.

Brad.

It says EDGE--so I think that's AT&T, but, edit, more research reveals it's T-Mobile.

But they say it works in 2.5G areas. "Coverage information is currently unavailable. Check back for updates soon."

I found Tether and it works great.

Brad,

In the information in the link Rich posted above is a link that shows T-Mobile coverage areas and towers that you can look at the locations of coverage.

A different company, 'Cricket', offers a similar deal in Spokane county. $40/mo- no contract.
I'm considering since Comcast upped my bill from $45 to $70 with no reason.
My only concern if it's fast enough to stream video {Hulu, Netflix}.

There had to have been some reason. Maybe you canceled TV? On this side of the mountains, the price difference is $17 so it's actually cheaper to just add Limited Cable for $12.55

That's the broadband bill.
I use wabbit ears. The downside of these new-fangled TV's, hard to balance the antenna on top.
Had to do some redneck engineering with a staple gun.

I prefer duct tape and hot glue.
That's authentic redneck engineering...
