'Hawk, the service you want is the one with the best service where you will spend a majority of the time. That means which carrier has the closest tower. And the tower needs to be on the right side of your apartment, as an example. If you stay in major metropolitan areas you should be fine with good signal . It is when you go "rural" when you could have significant issues. Depending where you will be located, my guess is Verizon with EVDO-Rev A or AT&T with 3G will perform the best. Alltel also has Rev A. I think Sprint is delaying Rev A in favor of the next technology. . . And that is assuming they don't get bought by T-Mobile or can divest Nextel before that product bankrupts them.

See if the carriers will let you take a Smartphone / iPhone, something with Internet connection, home for a few hours and check the signal strength. That is really the only way to know what to expect.
