Thank you for that answer, but I am looking specifically for experience with Verizon's modems (they have two that work for 4G/3G). I'm getting ready to do some traveling and I want Verizon because in my experience, Sprint's coverage (the 3G) outside urban areas is either spotty or nonexistent.
I can say, for anyone who is considering Sprint, that my Cricket modem - which uses the Sprint 3G network - was easy to set up in Mint 10 (and in Puppy too; I tried that before Mint). My speeds aren't as good as yours - I think the highest I've seen is about 90kb/s, and it's usually much lower - but my modem is a couple of years old. And the price is hard to beat.
