 L. Island & Arizona: a bad luck? May 15, 2008
This modem is great. Customer reviewers from Arizona and Long Island, N.Y., may reflect their bad luck. I'm using this modem since mid-March, on my DELL desktop (XP) and my DELL laptop (Vista). It works in Maryland (DC area), it worked a few days ago in Lumberton, South Carolina, and now, at this very moment, it is working inside my camping trailer at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Go for it.
Laptop owners - cut the cord. It's fast, reliable and comes with domestic tech support. March 26, 2008

I'm using Vz Access with the USB 720 and have found it to be fast and fairly dependable. Verizon gave me 30 days to decide if I wanted to keep the modem and sign up for the plan. In the end, I decided it's nice to cut the cord and be able to use my laptops anywhere I want to work.
This is an external card that connects via the USB port and I have swapped it between a four year old Dell laptop and a six month old Gateway laptop, both run XP. The USB connector looks fragile. I signed a two year agreement, and I have serious doubts that the card is going to make it to the end of the contract. However, in the four months I've owned it I've given it a few accidental knocks and it hasn't snapped off.
There have been a couple of issues that required a call to tech support. I was very happy to reach domestic centers on both occasions. After bad experiences with Sony tech support compounding the aggravation of technical problems with language and cultural barriers, domestic tech support is high on my priority list.
The monthly fee is $59.99 for virtually unlimited access; 5G a month should be plenty for browsing and email. Tack on about another $20/month to your bill just for the taxes and junk fees. My monthly phone bill, with another carrier, suffers from the same type of surcharge inflation.
Highly recommended for laptop owners who want to cut the cord. If you use your laptop in the same spot every day - go with a cheaper DSL service.
 Slow and too expensive for what it is March 24, 2008

Although the Verizon wirelesson USB card is nice because you can take it anywhere, it is very slow compared to most cable and DSL. It also disconnects frequently and randomly. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.
Faster than any other cellular Internet access card March 11, 2008

My CIO and CEO are happy with Verizon's USB720 and USB150, stating that their Internet browsing experience using these gadgets doesn't differ from when they are on our network or at home using their personal DSL.
Verizon's EVDO cell Internet access service with all the various cards we have is apparently MUCH faster than most of the other cell phone networks (except Sprint which is also EVDO and as fast). I have been using Verizon's PC5740 card for years and it was slower but still comparable to my 3 Mbps DSL ISP access at home.
We also have several other cards by other providers and their internet access is so slow it's dysfunctional. To name a few, T-Mobile - my GC89 usually connecting at horribly slow 100 Kbps; my fellow IT Director stating that his older T-Mobile card is as slow, if not worse; Other users at our organization confirmed that using AT&T card was slow as well, so if you need speedy mobile Internet access, go EVDO (Verizon or Sprint) and avoid GPRS/EDGE (T-Mobile & AT&T). I had a bad experience with their customer service in the past and bought a T-Mobile card when we needed another one, but the horribly slow speed of other cell ISP providers made me change my mind. I'm buying Verizon again because their cell PC cards' internet access seems to be an order of magnitude faster than most of other providers.
Blazing speed. Go for it.
