t-mobile has better coverage, how much bandwidth are you allowed per month? plus 3G is not as fast as broadband

The high price of using it.
bandwidth speed, storage capacity and price too
Mobile Broadband is either 3G (Verizon, Sprint)
or GPRS (ATT, T-Mobile). You should consider coverage, roaming, devices.
Devices come as either external plugs (USB) or, in case of a GPRS – some laptop models allow you to insert SIM card right into the laptop.
Coverage and cost.
Doesnt matter which you get – they are currently combining all their sites together anyhow! If you are intending to use it as your main supplier, coverage should be the first question!
I have both – both are crap! Very slow. Lousy coverage here because I am bang in the middle of two sites.
Consider:
Is there a download quota?
What are the costs of exceeding the quota?
How to monitor the downloads?
