We also use Verizon Wireless in Orchidland, and our service became much quicker and more dependable once the new tower at Sure Foundation Church went up early this year. Before that, our connection apparently vacillated between the towers in Keaau and Kurtistown (we're on the west side of Orchidland Drive) and the signal sometimes faded or quit entirely.
It's not as fast as regular land-line broadband but it's not bad, up to 1.9 megabits per second in spikes but usually around 500-700 Mbps on steady downloads (divide by 8 to get megabytes/sec.). Our service costs about $60/mo. for unlimited use.
