The only customers this will make any sense to even consider will be current Qwest customers, and even then it is a stretch. Sprint direct offers better pricing, more devices at lower prices. For example, the card Qwest is selling for $50 is free here: http://moremobileinternet.com/evdo-modem-cards Also, tech support is always a huge hassle if you are not dealing with the actual carrier.
