Need input about using Broadband... and OnStar....

I upgraded my husband's phone today at Verizon, and while I was there I inquired about their Broadband card for $59.99/mo (5GB data transfer). This is approximately the same amount I pay for cable service for my desktop. I'm thinking I can get a Broadband card and alternate it between my desktop and laptop, and cancel my Roadrunner cable service. Does anybody have any input on the download speed using a Broadband card vs the download speed using cable?

Also, I just got a new car, 2008 Saturn Aura XR with OnStar. Does anybody here use OnStar HandsFree calling? With Verizon I can add the OnStar carphone for $9.99/mo and share the monthly minutes we have between my husband's cell phone, my cell phone, and the car phone. The upside of it is that there is no charge for IN calling where the caller (or person being called) also uses Verizon.
