Who do you buy your CDPD service thru?

I've investigated Go America and while they offer flat rate price,s the 
prices are based on "usage expectations"... plamtops are a lot cheaper 
than laptops.  (I wonder how they know.)  They're at www.goamerica.com

I've ordered one of the IBM $79 CDPD/Cellphone PC-CARDS that we were  
talking about on the list awhile back and as soon as it comes I want to 
start using CDPD service.

(It also costs less, is twice as fast, and makes you more productive.)
