I did a converage study for ConEd 3 years ago on the Verizon network,
ConEd was moving off of CDPD, in the City Verizon offered very good
coverage and it was all at that time CDMA2000 1xRT which had a max
speed of 144kb. I believe they are now offering CMDA200 1xRT EV-DO
in Manhattan, EV-DO does up to 2.4mb.
You could also look at Cingular they are offering GPRS and EDGE, it is
not quite so fast (they wil leapfrog one another) at this time but as they
move to W-CDMA they will also offer the higher speeds. I think that most
of them offer 24x7 all you can push down the pipe for about $75-100/mo.
GPRS is about 30-60kb and EDGE brings it up to 384kb. As the GSM
providers move to to W-CDMA or UMTS they will provide speeds similar
or higher than EV-DO. Check with the cellular providers to see what
their package cost are.
