I have Verizon Wireless internet, using a MiFi 2200 router device. It basically acts as wifi for my and my wife's computer. I live out in the country where DSL and cable are unavailable. I had dish internet through WildBlue for a year; it was fast enough but the latency even browsing was a killer. We live 1/2 mile from a 3G tower, so I get full bars and an excellent signal. It's also nice that when we go somewhere, we can bring the internet with and whoever is not driving can surf (wife runs a home-based "party" style business, I am sometimes offsite support for IT stuff).
I'm planning on moving soon and high on our priority list is ending somewhere with DSL or cable. It's not the speed of 3G that kills me, it's the download cap. With no kids, it's very easy to hit 5GB every month. I'm a geek so I like to surf a lot, but I have to curb a lot of that. On the other hand, my counterpart at our corporate office uses Sprint's 3G network and doesn't hit the cap, and he's got 3 kids at home (although he has a firewall setup to limit daily usage to 1 hour). If you can find Sprint 4G, that's claimed to be really unlimited, capped at 5gb if you roam back onto the 3G network.
