A 10GB cap on a individual smartphone sounds OK, but on a hot spot, it’s outlandish.
10GB is hardly classifiable as hogging bandwidth in this day and age. Sprint have made the right choice in not placing caps on their wireless service, no one wants an unexpected bill at the end of the month because you used ‘too much’ bandwidth. As much as I like LTE from Verizon and already being a Verizon customer, the 10GB cap would be way too restrictive for my home internet needs.
If AT&T U-verse disappoints, I will seriously consider a Clearwire modem or this 4g hotspot from Sprint. So if you want to stream Netflix movies and therefore consume large amounts of bandwidth, the Spring hotspot device makes better financial sense. Verizon put a 10GB monthly cap on their hotspot devices, Sprint’s claim to fame is that their unlimited means truly unlimited. Reports of 10Mb down and 3 Mb up on Verizon LTE hotspots reveal that the Verizon 4g is a step above the older Sprint/Clearwire 4g. To get the full manual, one needs to download this from Sprints support website.Ĭompared to Verizon wireless LTE, the Sprint network is a step behind in terms of raw speed. As standard the device comes with a quick start guide. It uses a universal Micro USB charger, so you don’t need to carry its charging cable/wall plug if you already have one for your phone or other device(s). The device looks like a hockey puck, is reasonably light and is easily thrown into a laptop bag. My Motorola Droid never has issues, so the GPS sensitivity for this device seems poor. The unit consistently failed to get a GPS lock inside my home. I switched on GPS location to see how that would work. I was able to change from WEP encryption to WPA2 easily enough, the unit rebooted after this change and worked just fine. The management console is clear and easy to use. The hotspot device can be used as a Wifi hotspot supporting up to 5 clients, or as a tethered device.

I am due to get uVerse installed in a few days so will update this post with those speeds as a direct comparison.

This is fast enough to support HD quality movie streaming from Netflix and others. I tested the performance and got 4.92 Mbs Down and 0.92 Mbs Up. The signal strength varied between 20% and 40%, so my address is clearly marginal for Sprint.
