The USB broadband modems are the greatest thing since beer in a can. I got one a year and a half ago because that was really the only option we have for broadband. I normally leave it plugged into my Linux box at home; when we travel I take it along with my work laptop. Beats the heck out of the crappy WiFi in most hotels.
I went with AT&T because we're longtime customers. Personally, I think Verizon has better service and they now have 4G in some areas. We get a lot of dropped calls with AT&T.
I guess I don't understand how you get service if you buy a used modem from a company that doesn't offer pay-as-you-go, like AT&T or Verizon.

Virgin uses Sprint's network, which should give good coverage.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
