"Extremely Disappointing"
on by bridgetmcPros Showed great promise
Cons Didn't deliver, extremely slow, service not available in one area where I needed it most
Summary Was looking for a mobile way to check email and signed up for Edge service after buying a Dell laptop with a wireless card. Went for the $80 a month plan after salesperson told me just how quickly one can rack up charges the per-kb way. Right away, service was sketchy (it was like having a laptop-cellphone, basically) and turned out to be much, much slower than my laptop's dial-up connection capability. Cancelled the service after one month and had to pay a hefty ($125 or $175 I think) fee to do so. Still using Cingular for my primary cell phone, but have since switched to using a simple T-Mobile sidekick for mobile email and it works wonderfully.

"spotty, inconsistent coverage, slow, horrible customer service"
on by noteboomPros Sometimes it worked
Cons Dialup was better
Summary Awful coverage and customer service, and not just downtown Atlanta.
I finally canceled at the expense of paying a cancellation fee. Reports to their technical support wasn't good for anything, not even a credit.
Unless things have dramtically improved over the past 6 months, I recommend trying someone else. -
"Very Slow and unreliable"
on by cchunterPros It works some time.
Cons Very slow it is about 5 time slower than dial up.
Summary This is an over priced item that has not preformed up to expeditations. Since I bought mine have talked with others and they have the same complaiants. Droped service very slow tech support is lacking. Would not buy if I had checked first.
