Howdy.
We purchased Verizon's PC5740 in August this year. My plan is the
Broadband/National Access with Quick2Net. The service is OK, certainly
better than dial-up. BUT the performance depends on the signal
strength. When we were in Fort Worth area and I had a good signal( 2-3
bars), the reception was very good. Now we are in Hondo, 30 miles west
of San Antonio, TX and I have one signal bar and occasionally lose
that and then I just have to wait until the signal comes back. So I am
not really happy with the PC card right now. I considered the card
that has the adjustable external antenna and I regret that I didn't
buy that. I talked to Verizon tech and there is no way to boost the
signal. We are still considering a satellite dish but those too are
very expensive. Just my dollar's worth.
