[c-nsp] VZW 4G LTE Interface Card

[Scott Granados]

+1 on the VZW card.  I’ve used both this card and other VZW data delivery devices with good success.  LTE is quite fast especially if you can connect on the UMTS band with your device.  I tried the VZW card before XLTE was rolled out so can’t speak to whether this works or not but I have used data devices on the XLTE Verizon network and it’s pretty zippy and more importantly stable.
