    I have been using a Spring aircard on my former laptop for 1-2 yrs, and had no issues. It was slow at the end, but I think it was more the laptop...

    Contract is up, I am thinking of getting a traditional "wireless" internet service via my cable company.

    Does anyone use internet from SPrint or Verizon and compared it to traditional cable internet? I am trying to find the speeds.

    Price isn't that much of an issue, as internet via sprint/verizon is only about $15 more..

    Sprint/Verizon aircards are more convenient, but you will get much faster (and more consistent) speeds using cable or DSL through a wireless router.
