I've got a grandfathered Verizon unlimited account I'm not using.
$60 a month.

Small b usually means bits, and 200 bits is way slow for EVDO, especially Rev-A.
I used to get 200kB/s before the Verizon tower got congested. I think that was
back before they upgraded the tower from Rev-0 to Rev-A. It sure was nice when I
was the only guy in range of my tower who had a data card. With 3G EVDO
approximating T-1 speeds, and many old towers being fed by a single T-1 line, it
doesn't take many users to make the tower feel congested.
Right now I'm getting about 50-100kB through a weak Sprint connection, I mean
really weak, like -100 to -115db. At the old house I would get -75 to -80db on
Verizon.
