Direct from the company Sprint that is correct. However one can access the Sprint network on broadband devices with near unlimited plans through Sprint resellers like Millenicom and Wireless 'n' WiFi. |

i put Millenicom into google and got their site. They had a hotspot for $69 a month but only 20GB a month not a solution for me. However they also had a USB dongle for $69 a month that was unlimited. That would work for ONE computer if one has coverage. I don't think i will find another whole house solution that clear offered at best it looks like an unlimited USB dongle for one computer. |

| The 20 gig limit applies to the Millenicom Verizon Wireless package, not their Sprint package. Their Sprint package limit is 50 gigs. Also, with regard to the one-computer deal, that's not necessarily the case. The B(ring)Y(our)O(wn)D(device) plan gives one the option of connecting with a hotspot which can connect as many as eight devices, all fully networked. In my case, I had an Overdrive Pro that I had been using for Sprint directly. I cancelled my Sprint account and had Millenicom re-assign it to a Millenicom account and voila! all three of my computers connected and networked. As for where to get such a device, go to eBay. Try to get a Tri-Fi, not an Overdrive, because that gives you access to all three Sprint networks, 3G, LTE and WiMax. |

ill look into this as well. Right now all options are on the table as i sort this out. only issue is 50 GB might be cutting it tight but right now everything is open. |

| Then the Wireless 'n' WiFi deal might be better for you. Officially their deal is unlimited, but they are frank that they would prefer their customers to try to stay under 100 gigs if they can, still significantly larger than Millenicom's 50 gig deal. |

The need to connect multiple clients shouldn't limit someone to a hotspot.
Cradlepoint (»www.cradlepoint.com/) offers some excellent 3G/4G routers which have an integrated USB port. You'll just need to verify compatibility with your USB dongle.
MSRP on these is a little high, but you can find them for much less on Ebay or Amazon.
Also - I'm pretty sure that Millenicom's 20GB plan is on Verizon's network, the "unlimtied" is Sprint. |
