I have a terrific signal with ping as low as 78ms to yahoo.com. when I do a ping www.yahoo.com -t it will show pings as long as you want until you hit
Ctrl c to cancel. I noticed that about every 20-30 pings there is one ping in the 400-500ms range. This seems like it is VZW purposely making it so FPS games get stalled or drop you off.

Well I don't know if you just using your pc for gaming or a console, but I use my VZW Rev A service for gaming on Xbox Live and I have nothing but good to say about it. Course its not like regular cable speed all the time, but good enough to join in on a match of your favorite game if the host has a good connection. I don't host any, but I play every night with no problems. You will have to do Internet Connection Sharing if you don't have a EVDO router. That is how I use mine. I have a 5 port Gigabit DLink switch with an ethernet cable coming from my laptop and another ethernet cable from the switch to the xbox 360. The Gigabit Switch really helped speed things up a bit too. I would recommend one of those if you have to share your connection.
