I am not sure this is true. I just added a Touch on Verizon and ran a couple of speed tests along with my Sony Vaio with the built in EVDO Rev A card from Sprint.

I discovered that my Sprint card was hitting around 1.2 mps while the VZW phone tethered to my laptop was reaching 2.3-2.5 mps. That is a huge difference.

Now here is the problem.... I like Sprint's data service, but like the data speeds I am getting with VZW, and their coverage is better. But with the cap, VZW will hit first if I am using Slingbox and Sirius a lot.

So I guess I am going to remain with Sprint and the slower data speeds because it is fast enough for everything I do and hope I don't pop over the edge.
