Four bars of EV-DO is true sweetness

Vzw_full_bars2I am at the Houston airport waiting for my flight to board and getting some work done while waiting.  I am using the Verizon  BroadbandAccess Network to tap the EV-DO to get online.  I use the EV-DO a lot and the past five days with no power at home due to Hurricane Ike I have just about worn my Verizon modem out.  One thing that strikes me here is how fast the network is with a full four bars of signal strength at the airport.  It feels just like broadband and the reason it is so impressive to me, no stranger to EV-DO, is because I have used it exclusively at my house as I mentioned.  I only have one to two bars of signal in my house and had gotten used to the not too shabby speeds with that low signal strength.  I had forgotten how fast the network is with good signal and it’s blowing me away here in the airport.  I am also relishing sitting in a place that has electricity (and thus air conditioning) for the first time in five days.  :)
