Most places you end up using a tablet will have free wifi available, which means the need to pay for an additional 3G appliance (in addition to a smart phone) is not overwhelming. Wifi is faster, anyway. On my hardware, 4G kicks wi-fi's ass. === I have a 4G Verizon aircard that I use with laptops. When it's working well (not always, but improving), it is faster than a good cable connection. Yeah, that's what we use when we are away from the house... Works pretty good when you get 4G. Started working better after the huge NE storm. I think they finally replaced the old crap that really wasn't ready for 4G... === Verizon is spending a *lot* of money to roll out 4G as fast as possible and gain a competitive advantage. We've even got it here in SWFL which is usually about the last place to get new technology. If I could get an unlimited data plan I'd chuck my DSL service and use the aircard for the entire house. |
