We're trying to figure out how they could be a fake (as in, the deposit on a board will buy a lot of margaritas in Playa del Carmen). It looks legit. I asked them a) howcum they can do 128Kb when CDPD normally tops out at 9600, and b) howcum so cheep when CDPD is so usurious? They replied, very promptly, that a) they bond several 19.2Kb raw CDPD (9600 is with ECC) together, and b) the CDPD carriers, despite their rate structures, are desperate for traffic right now and were happy to sign these folks up for deeply discounted bulk rates. Could be real, folks.
