    Been with both and have liked Verizon better. Not that Att was bad just Verizon seems like better service. Luvtotruck is correct in they are expensive but the difference that Im paying now to Verizon then what I was with att is pennies. I dont think you can go wrong with either.

    Like i said i have used both now im with straight talk 45 unlimited plan and it works everywhere have had no problems i have the 1 with sim card i have a galaxy 2 but i can buy a t-mobile or att phone since i have sim card. I like straight talk because i listen to pandora internet radio while in driving the unlimited data comes in handy

    BroadbandQ mentioned above (I didn't look at the website) probably bulk contracts with some particular carrier and uses a hotspot device that is dedicated to that particular carrier. If the carrier is ATT or Verizon (preferably Verizon) it might not be a bad deal.

    Don't deal with devices that have to plug into a USB port to operate (for several reasons). Only use hotspot devices and you'll be much better off regardless what/who you decide for a plan.

    Verizon. You won't regret it. I've had it for 4 Years now and wouldn't have it any other way. Sorry to say att users but as far as data goes Verizon busts nuts on att

    The problem about Boost is that they are under the Sprint Network.

    Coverage-wise you would want to go to Verizon!

    Milinicom has 25gb for 80 bucks/month. That's on the Verizon network. I have yet to find a spot where the hotspot gets no service. My Verizon cell fails in places the horspot still works. Its pretty fast to for the most part. 25 gb is enough to watch over 80 hours of netflix a month.

    You can save a lot of money if you go with prepaid rather than doing a contract. I changed from a contract with Sprint that that I paid about $110/month to $60/month for unlimited talk, data and text. It was recently raised from $50 to $60 when I bought a smart phone after my not so smart phone died. I paid $65 for the phone after the warranty on the old phone and with the sale discount. My wife pays $50/month for Boost. She also has unlimited everything. Most of the major phone carriers have similar plans available. I prefer the unlimited since I use it so much in my business. I think Verizon and Sprint have the best coverage area. I have family who use AT & T and it does well for them, but they don't do much traveling. There is no need paying any more for cell service than is needed.
