This is a hoax. See: http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/dellbug.asp I have tried this product, called Verizon BroadbandAccess, and it does indeed work great. You can read more here: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobileoptions/broadband/index.jsp
i dont think the op was asking about broadband access. i think he was asking about the slower free nationwide internet access that the phone companies offer and is not well known about.
