Alltel Drops the Price of Wireless Broadband
Today, 7:38 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Today Alltel announced a new bundle that reduces the cost of a wireless broadband plan. Wireless broadband, accessed via a wireless modem on a PC, costs $60 per month if used as a stand-alone plan. If it is bundled with an Alltel wireless voice line, the price will drop to $40 per month. The bundle is called the Smart Choice Pack.

The banner ad above your post was for Cricket wireless broadband, 3GB/mo for $40.

I thought that Verizon bought out Alltel? Are they going to keep operating as a separate entity in places?

I hope that Verizon does that, I've both cell service and wireless broadband through them.

I was recently reviewing prices on Verizon and went through their shopping cart - when I typed in my zip code it referred me to Alltell with a (*) note that stated that they have acquired them and to sign-up for service through alltell and that prices may be subject to change. Unless I had convincing evidence otherwise, I would be afraid that I would sign-up for a $40 plan through them but Verizon would up that to $99 before the end of the contract - their TOS heavily favors the company. At least that is what is holding up my decision to purchase from them at the moment.
