I would say Alltel will be your best bet for Michigan, especially the UP. If you look at the other thread in the forum about Alltel's MOL3 and EVDO updates it says Alltel is supposedly rolling out a wider coverage area for EVDO, so even if you only have 1x while at school it's possible you'll get EVDO later.

It also depends on what you want the data for. If your Q to alert you about new e-mail on your Gmail account (or whatever), 1x would be fine. Your signal strength also comes into question as well.

I know I switch to 1x in and around Ludington and Muskegon, but my Q hasn't ventured further north with me, yet.
