Here’s the note from a loyal reader:

I have both the ATT Aircard and Verizon Aircard for my laptop. I got the Verizon to test because the ATT is so slow in Fletcher. Anyway, I’ve been travelling the SE on business and testing both using Speakeasy.net and found some very interesting results. For example:Bristol, TN – 2760DL – 1126UL for ATT; 2138DL – 223UL for Verizon. Where ATT has the 3G it is blistering fast. Verizon also has some fast areas too. But the most noticeable difference is the upload speeds (Bristol example). The ATT upload speeds are much faster than the Verizon and in some cases are almost as fast as the download. The Verizon upload speeds all seem to be at about 200 to 300. I had thought about cancelling my ATT service but now will hold out to see how well it does in the Fletcher area, especially the upload speed comparison to Verizon which is 280 at my house. Good luck!
