I'm also using the Novatel U720, typically at about 800-1,000 kbps. With a great signal, 1,200 kbps down, about 400 kpbs upload. EVDO Rev-A. On Sprint.

Also using the Wilson Trucker antenna.

Inside da bus. Right now! :)

If you want to know *all* about this stuff, go to evdoinfo.com or evdoforums.com. Those guys are great and will help you every step of the way.

BTW, the 'dongle' (wire) isn't just for convenience. Most USB ports can't supply enough power and if you plug both wires in you can pull more amps from your computer for full power to the U720. Also helps to get it away from the screen if using a laptop.

Last few weeks I've been completely under a broad-leaved 'tree-tent' for awesome shade, at the expense of internet speed. (Guess which one I'd rather have! :)) And today it's raining all day, so here's my speed as of right now:

 I'm useing a 15 foot USB extension cord for my WiFi hookup. I have to use something antenna will not work in the bus. I tried a powered USB port but it would not work with the WiFi adaptor.
Remember, even at a Mensa convention someone is the dumbest person in the room!
