The last few days I have noticed that I have EVDO coverage in Pine Bluff. I have waited so long it seems too good to be true. Can anyone else verify this? Has anyone ever heard of having EVDO service and then it being turned off. I would like to get a dedicated card and router for my house and dump my satellite service (hughesnet direcway junk!), but I need to be sure it won't go away before I shell out the bucks. I have heard of no official releases stating that PB has been turned on. Also what is Alltel's best EVDO card. I see where they have 4 released now counting the USB one. Thanks

Welcome to the forum, slowinPB. If they are just beginning to implement EvDO in your area you will probably see it blink on and off for a couple of weeks while they continue testing. Then it should come on steady.

Hopefully Jason (aka Barren_CPM4) will stop by and confirm what's going on in Pine Bluff for you.

I have read on this forum where someone has had EvDO for a significant period then some sort of service adjustment was made at the cell site and DO coverage was no longer available to them -- but that doesn't seem to be a frequent occurrence.

I'd skip the USB card and go with either the Kyocera PC680/Novatel adapter/KR1 router or with the PC5750 and Linksys router. Do you have a laptop? If so, does it have a PCMCIA slot or an Express Card slot?

Karlyn, is the 680/Novatel adapter plug n play? One of my laptops has the express card but older one has PCMCIA.

SlowinPB, I also had Hughesnet/Direcway before and mine was junk also. Welcome to EVDO and I hope you like it as much as I have so far (6 weeks).

I don't have direct experience with it -- just mentioned that combo since it's one that appears to work. I have the PC5750 (PCMCIA) and the Linksys router. (Unfortunately Alltel only had PCMCIA aircards when I signed up.)

It does look like it probably is -- here's the link to the adapter.

I'm in union county
70 miles south of you and we are doing the same.As I said in the other
post. It makes me wonder what the seceret is. Why don't they just tell
everybody when they are going to turn it on.
