Guys, I stumbled upon something last night that seems to have solved my internet problems. Where I live the only speedy internet is wireless but it costs so damn much! Well, I got really lucky and found an inexpensive prepaid unlimited data plan on AT&T. It's a data only plan designed for tablets but if you know what you're doing it can be used on other devices. $30 a month for unlimited 4gLTE data. If you've got an AT&T or unlocked GSM tablet with a new SIM card go here to sign up: https://buyasession.att.com/sbd/ShowLogin.action?source=ECV4IS0000000000U&wtExtndSource=buyasession Choose Unlimited MB with auto renew for $29.99 per month and it'll automatically take the payment out every month so you don't have to worry about a lapse in service if you forget to renew at the end of the month. AT&T can slow it down after 22GB if the tower you're on is congested but when the congestion clears up your speeds should go back to normal. Where I live is sparsely populated so I doubt I'll have that problem. Besides, for $30 a month it's worth that risk to me. I'm really happy about this. The only other options I had were some crappy DSL or Satellite, either of which I would have been disappointed in.

I ended up with a tablet plan from Sprint because AT&T has had issues as far as 4g coverage in my specific area. Your deal is great. I pay $39 a month but it includes the monthly charge for buying the tablet. I get 1G a month and when the tablet is paid for in a few months I am going to look into a plan like yours. By now all the cell companies have added towers and 4G and I might be able to get a good unlimited plan. Just pop in a new sim and I am good to go. Did that with my smartphone. Was home all the time with Dad and had a $3 a month deal with T Mobile that gave me a half hour of talk time a month. All I needed and it gave the piece of mind of a phone to use in case of emergency.

Your ping is OK. Its not the most stable, because i see it does fluctuate to 67 which is quite the jump.

But yes you can get by on it.

I gave it a good test last night and today mainly watching YouTube. I can watch videos in 1080p with no lag or buffering. Pages load in just a second. I'm very happy with it.
