With each plan having unlimited 3G data in some shape or form, you can download to your heart's content (with some conditions of course).
Unfortunately, Verizon's bought them and it's unsure how long it will last.

While Alltel had to play a bit of catchup to Verizon and Sprint's EVDO networks, they now have EVDO Revision A speeds.
While their entire network isn't EVDO Rev. A (like Sprint or Verizon), it's fast enough in the areas it isn't (EVDO Rev. 0) to get your work or play done.

Alltel Coverage Area for 3G (Mobile Broadband)
Previously, Alltel's coverage has been greatly expanded by a partnership with Sprint. Since their purchase, Alltel coverage will be merged with Verizon. Every carrier has it's advantages and disadvantages. As we mentioned before, the Alltel coverage area for mobile broadband is not fully EVDO Rev. A.
That means it'll be slower than Sprint, Verizon or AT&T in some areas.

While they didn't take home the trophy, they still gained 5 out of 5 'Power Circles' (Rated among the best) for customer service. It seemed like everyone could "come and get their love".
2009 hasn't been so kind to Alltel (or rather they haven't been so kind to you). They tripped up and fell into 3rd place with 4 out of 5 'Power Circles'. Read on for the details of the 2009 Alltel Customer Service Review.
