Test-driving Verizon's high-speed network

Rob Pegoraro of the Washington Post takes Verizon Wireless's new high-speed Broadband Access service for a test drive and comes back impressed. Sure, it's expensive (about $80 a month), but it's also blazingly fast and you can get speeds right around what'd you get with DSL — except that you can use it anywhere, or at least any place where Verizon offers coverage for the service. Right now that's just Washington D.C. and San Diego, but Verizon is planning to roll this out nationwide over the next few years. And one other thing: Verizon doesn't have any phones for it, just wireless PC cards for laptops.
