The Broadband-access coverage area is for major-markets mostly (haven't looked at the map lately...but it seems to be growing all the time).

When you get outside of that area you are USUALLY in National-Access mode (slower than Broadband-Access mode).

National-Access works on the major highways and pretty much most places where you can at least get a cell-phone signal (maybe it needs to be a digital cell-phone signal as opposed to the old analog cell-phone signal).

Usually about 2x speed of regular dial-up (100kb or so).

Broadband access usually gets up to 500kb speed or faster.


Short-answer - yes, most places you are outside the Broadband Access coverage area you are getting the 2x dial-up speed (unless you are travelling in the Nevada desert or something I guess).


1. I found their phone-support to be extremely friendly and professional in answering all my noob Q's.

2. Last year when I signed-up I think there was a 15-day free-trial period where I could get a refund if I wasn't satisfied.
So you do get some time to feel it out.
