Re: $50 for unlimited is too steep

said by anjorusso :

even though its pretty fast and mobile, $50 is a lot of money to pay for unlimited mobile...
Too steep?? Thats better than many DSL/Cable providers, not sure where your comment is coming from.

Ahh yes, another anon poster who didnt bother to read the article! This offering is for unlimited home and wireless roaming usage. The device they are selling allows you to take your home connection with you anywhere in the footprint. Can your cable connection do that??

yes but i share home internet so that does not work out for everyone because when i take the device with me, it means the rest of the folks won't be able to access the internet...
now if they would allow 2 devices for $50, that would be a bargain yes

Spectrum costs money, and you have a limited amount of data that can go over that spectrum.

$50 for unlimited, with mobility available, is a bargain. 'nuff said. What cable provider are you on anyway? Around here 8/2 is $65 per month.

Mobility?

If you happen to plan your trip around to the handful of spots they are located.

Better than having to track down the nearest hotspot. The concept's good and they're expanding. Plus you've got the hybrid EvDO/WiMAX modems, which will give you at least 3G coverage practically anywhere.
