10GB and then 3G speedsI asked Verizon how much data I would get if I added it to my new unlimited plan and got this response quote:
Agent: I'll be happy to help you with more information about our devices. You can go ahead with your questions when you are ready!
You: If I add the SmartHub to my new unlimited plan, how does data allotment work?
Agent: The SmartHub would be considered a Mobile hotspot, so usage will be at 4G speeds for the first 10 GB then drop to 3G speeds.

what is 3G 2mbit? 600kbit? I can never understand when the companies dont give a solid answer |

A quick Google search says between 7mbps and 50 mbps roughly.. That doesn't narrow it down at all. |

Everything that I have gathered has stated around 512Kbps is the throttle point after 10GB. |

600kbps is the official speed after the first 10GB for hotspots on verizon. |

So this new SmartHub would get 10GB and then 600kbps.. That doesn't seem like a good solution to connect up to 200 devices to, or a wireline replacement option.
I guess it would be acceptable for people in rural areas, especially since the landline portion would route emergency calls like a landline unlike the previous units which put it through like a cell call.
I would not be dropping my 75Meg DSL connection for this though. |

Verizon 3G is CDMA. 3.1meg for the WHOLE channel. When I had an EVDO REV A Iphone 4S with them I never got over 768K  |

Dead on arrival due to the 4G to 3G downgrade after 10GB |

You can always put it on a larger dedicated plan IIRC it's $150/mo for 40GB. then just $15/GB thereafter. |

My question about this, and the Unlimited plan in general, is can one use Popdata (unlimited bandwidth for 30 minutes or 1 hour) or otherwise buy additional additional high-speed data after the 10GB have been exhausted? |

No not currently that's only offered on the tiered plans. Unless something's changed recently. No one could ever use more than Unlimited* (*only 10GB). |
