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. I assume the modems are locked to a service provider, just like a cell phone, so I could use the SIM card out of my modem in another AT&T modem, but without a SIM the modem won't work. So that kind of drives you to the pay-as-you go services like Virgin Mobile. Virgin's $40/month pay-as-you go service, with unlimited usage, seems like a pretty good deal. Virgin uses Sprint's network, which should give good coverage.
