It might be Sprint Broadband Direct.

Sprint is probably phasing out that service.  I have tested it before
and found it to be very poor with high lag and slow transfers.  My
tests revealed that the transfer rate was about 50% of Verizon's EVDO
service through a PCMCIA card.  I suspect that they want to begin
pushing their upcoming WiMax service named Xohm.
