    I would stick with verizon. They have a strong network, and there speeds claim in certian areas they can get up to 2Mbps.

    Remember you have to buy a card for your notebook, which is arounf $150-$200

    Yea.. I used verizon for a while. At the time it was $79 per month. You have to purchase the card for your notebook. At the time it was around $149. The connection in my area wasn't very good. It was about the speed of a 56K dial up connection. If I were you, I would ask around, and see if other people in your area have this service, and see if they are happy, before signing that 1-2 year contract! My 2 cents.
