Overall
Alltel Wireless Internet is neither the best nor worst. They don't have very strong or very weak points and remain fair across the board. They rank at 3 out of 5 stars.

Pros: Alltel Wireless plans cover the needs of different mobile broadband users. They are the only major carrier to still provide an unlimited data plan. Students and business travelers alike are covered with unlimited data in the United States and Canada as well as WiFi options.
Cons: Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is considered not permissible in their contract.
Pros: In addition to EVDO revision 0, WiFi
can be added for $10 to give bolstered speed and coverage at select locations.
Cons:
Alltel High Speed Internet is partly
EVDO revision 0. This is changing rapidly.
Pros:
Alltel coverage area reaches where
the other providers don't. It has expanded significantly thanks to a merger with Verizon.
Cons: Its difficult to check exactly where coverage is available. The coverage map is horrible and Alltel EVDO is available in about 76% of their total network footprint.
Pros: Nothing spectacular to report here. Alltel has snagged the #2 customer care spot in a J.D. Power and Associates Survey.
Cons: The usual woes and worries of dealing with wireless customer service apply. Alltel customer service ranks at about the industry average.
