    mobile broadband cards - verizon or sprint or ?

    Any opinions? I don't want to get screwed with a 2yr contract on something that I will regret. Are these cards adequate for use with a vcn connection to transfer a bunch of data? What are the real data transfer rates not the advertised ones? Is it worth using for IT support?
