If I lived in a comcast area I would definately buy this.
Comcast High-Speed 2go Nationwide service costs $69.99 ($92.95 thereafter)
Is that a monthly fee? That's VERY overpriced! Especially considering all the FREE wifi hotspots out there. It better be FAST with NO caps!
$92.95 a month is a great deal for 12mbps home internet, wimax, and sprint's EVDO.
You get internet everwhere.

There are not that many "free" wifi hotspots out there. I travel all around and very few places have free wifi anymore.

Oh, I didn't know it included HSI as well. That's actually a pretty good deal.

Don't Starbucks and Barnes and Noble have free wifi? They're all over the place.

I don't drink coffee and Barnes and Noble just started offering free wifi.

I never found free wifi at any restaraunt or gas station by the interstates going cross country.

It's pretty good considering monthly prices:

~$45 for Comcast HSI

~$50 for Clear unlimited mobile
or
~$80 for Clear or Sprint dual-mode 3G/4G

So if your in Comcast's service area, the bundle will save you ~$20-$25 a month on the metro plan or ~$30 a month on the 3G/4G nationwide plan, all after promo price.

The main question is what's the 3G cap when on Sprint for the nationwide plan. I assumed it was 5 GB, but have heard it might be different. Hopefully JL or another Comcast employee can shed some light on this.

In the areas where your roaming, the price gets to be stiff......"Your Comcast High-Speed 2Go Nationwide service plan includes 100MB of 3G roaming within the U.S. per full billing cycle. Domestic U.S. roaming above 100MB will incur roaming charges. Roaming usage over 100MB/month will incur costs of $1.00/MB. Usage will be charged in 1 MB increments. All usage will be rounded up to the next 1 MB increment. When you’re roaming, the Comcast Connection Manager will display an “R” symbol displays in the Network Name field and display Mobile Roaming in the Network Type field."

Better pay attention to the "R", or you will get gouged

Oh. 1c/10KB is a lot.

If the pricing communication is decent enough, it could still make proper business sense. It does limit its usefulness, however.
