    It was a joke getting started in EVDO. I had WildBlue for over 2 years, and truly did love it. However, EVDO became available to me and I jumped at the faster speeds, no limits, and minimal latency.

    The joke was dealing with Alltel sales people who sell cards, and even sell the Kyocera KR1 router. They assume that if you can get the card connected to the router, you are all set......WRONG.

    Anyway, I took the task in my own hands, did a ton of research, and paired the 5750 card with the LinkSys (Sprint) router. It all works GREAT!!!

    I do like the speed and flexibility of EVDO, thats for sure. This is our only internet connection at our home and we serve it up to 3-4 PC's. It ROCKS!!!!

    Thanks Alltel!

    UPDATE 1-16-08
    Just added a Cyfre amplifier last night, and WOW what an improvement. My local sales guy did a great job this time, so I am bumping up their pre-sales score and the service is not disconnecting at all. Thus, I bumped up the service score as well. For now, all is going GREAT with Alltel!! - HDMan

    UPDATE: 9-24-08
    All is still well, but, do NOT use the LinkSys router. I bought the new KR2 router from Kyocera and it ROCKS. 3 weeks, no drops, faster, etc.

    UPDATE: 5-26-09
    I sure wish I knew what Verizon was doing with Alltel. My speeds and connection strength have gone below dial up. Right now, there is a new, cheaper provider but Alltel won't let me out of my contract. When they do....I am GONE...

    Be sure to checkout »www.EVDOforums.com, there is lots of useful information when making EVDO purchase decisions. Also, the folks at »3Gstore.com (do not sell AllTel), but can help with routers, antennas and other accessories.

    Re: AllTell Advice

    I used to be a member there, but the forums there are not run very well. Also, they have very little support for Alltel since they don't sell or support it. I sort of gave up on them as this place is THE place for discussing Broadband.....

    Your contract

    Couldn't the fact that your speeds have dropped below dialup speeds be sufficient grounds for letting you out of your contract?

    Re: Your contract

    I'm sure I could. I just need to take the time to swing into the Alltel store and scream loud enough I guess...

    Re: Your contract

    I spent over 30 mins on the phone with them today about my speeds. Since the change over I am pulling off another,further away, tower and speeds are bad. You need to contact advance tech support if you want out. they can do it for you. dont waste your time with local pootheads! this info came straight from the advance tech rep I talked to today. They can make the decision based on your dropped speeds. goodluck!
