Cost

The big problem I see here is cost--$79.99 a month for unlimited use. Make it $25 and you have a deal. T-Mobile does its unlimited data for $19.99 and it's very popular. There's no way I'm going to blow close to $100 a month (after taxes and such) on mobile net accesss.

The cost may be high but the data speeds are awesome. Twice as fast as T-Mobile. Of course if you aren't a power user then T-Mobile might be the way to go no doubt! 😁
