[Vanhackspace] Motorola Milestone, Rogers data plan?

Speaking based on experience, Rogers' rural coverage of HSDPA has been
rather decent. I was in the middle of Shuswap Lake getting about 3 Mbit.
Of course, the islands and Shuswap Lake are two different beasts, but I
would take a bet on both having the same reasonable coverage.

With that said, EVDO coverage out in the sticks has been rather shoddy
for me. Our office has a connection in Central Vancouver Island and it
works, but it will have some nasty latency and speed issues. You're
going to have to roll the dice I guess.
