Anybody use Verizon Home Internet?

I was thinking about switching seeing thats its wireless and just uses a usb stick, no wires. Right now i am using hard wired internet at 10meg. I would like to keep the same speed would i be better off just going with a wireless router or going the Verizon route?

Yea, I've a friend with Verizon and it's ok, but consider this:

• any wired connection to a modem and/or router is better than WiFi
• any WiFi will be less secure and bandwidth will suffer

Use a PC-WiFi connection to YOUR router only when there is no other choice.

The FiOS connection is great,
the DSL choice is S L O W in comparison
and a WiFi only connection (eg satellite) is even worse.

"and/or router"? So im going to get about the same speed using hard wired or a wireless router? And both of those are going to be faster than Wifi correct?
