Default Cingular Data service review?

Can someone please help me answer the following:

Is the data/internet plan with Cingular fast?

Is the price competitive compared to verizon considering its performance features?

Can I use the my treo as a modem with the data service plan with my home PC?

Thanks for helping.

i think the data service on cingular's network is fairly fast. i haven't used any other provider's service but i was happy with the speed. for web browsing images come down acceptably quickly and when i use my ssh client to connect to my servers at home, the terminal reacts quickly as well.

i think the pricing is actually a bit higher than competitors. i think the all you can eat plan is 39.99. steep if you ask me.

i think it is possible to use the phone as a modem but you need special cables. actually, now that i think about it, this may have been the case with another phone i had. i'm gonna have to give you a definite "maybe" on this one.

Yes the t650 is fast, it has Class 10 Edge. It is 40$ for unlimited PDA connect. I'm almost positive VZW has the same price. Yes You can tether your phone to your LapTop, via Bluetooth. If you have a Cingular version, You need to activate bluetooth DUN(dial up networking). Visit shadowmite's page for the .prc file, and instructions on how to install.
