[Leaplist] Unlimited 3G or EVDO router plans

[Kevin Inscoe]

First of no one is doing "unlimited". AT&T claims it's unlimited
believe once you hit  some (so far unknown and undocumented) threshold
they will throttle you. AT&T is having issues with it's 3G network
(mostly elsewhere). A 5Gig cap is industry standard in cellular data
access. Personally I would rather have a Cradlepoint than just a Mifi.
You can bridge them however.

The only legitimate use of a Mifi IMHO is if you want to carry a wifi
connection in your pocket. Mifi cannot do ethernet and has no antenna
jack making it very minimal and of course limited to one carrier.
Personally I would get a USB stick and CP router and be done with it.
Now if you are doing this for unlimited give up now.  If you want so
called unlimited (but I still bet you will be noticed if take a lot
which will mean throttling) is to tether. With iPhone this means
jail-breaking it or paying a large monthly fee ($30 last I heard).
Other phones and plans vary for tethering. The cheapest being T-Mobile
or Virgin Mobile pay as you go (but it's 100MB/1GB($30/$60) limited
per 30 days nearly useless). I have actually done a lot of research
into this my notes:
