We love our iPhones but not ATT so I didn't get the ATT device that is similar or want to jailbreak our iPhones for data access.
Virgin Mobile uses the Sprint 3g network and it works well at our place near SS.
It if you plan to watch streaming video it might not be fast enough for you but DSL may have the same problem.
In Massachusetts we have FIOS (fiber to the house) and I can download a 40 min. video to my WiFi iPad in 5 min. Fiber to the house can't be beat by any technology for speed and would be my choice if available at a reasonable cost.

I'm with you on the VirginMobileUSA MiFi. I got one when I was in TV in September and I was able to stream video with no problem. Our home is in St. Charles.
Little trick with the iPhone... Download the Whistle VoIP app (Free) and use your WiFi connection [on your iPhone] with the MiFi unit. You then use Sprints network to make phone calls. I also used Skype to call back to Germany at $.02/min using the MiFi unit. Worked really well.
