AT&T’s First 4G LTE Dongles—and How Much LTE’ll Cost You

embark on next workweek , you ’ll be able-bodied to prepare for AT&T ’s LTE web on your laptop computer , tablet ( or whatever else ! ) with a new hotspot or USB dongle . But how much will the mobile broadband run you ?

Whether you ’re using the USBConnect Momentum 4 G dongle , Elevate 4 G hotspot ( both in fund on the 21st ) , or the LTE - upgradable USBConnect Adrenaline , you ’ll be laying down $ 50 for 5 GB of datum , plus $ 10 per G once you go over your crownwork . Which could get costly ! Worth noting : although the gadget are up for sale next workweek , the actual LTE switch wo n’t get flipped until the very ending of summertime .

At the moment , AT&T ’s LTE spectrum is only going to be shine over Atlanta , Chicago , Dallas , Houston , and San Antonio , with plans to hit ten more metropolis by the final stage of the yr , reaching a total of 70 million hoi polloi . Hopefully some outside Texas . That ’ll still leave them far behind Verizon — two to three year behind , if you recall . But even if you ’re not in an LTE geographical zone , you ’ll still be able to ride AT&T ’s HSPA+ connection , which ai n’t LTE , but is better than sitting at the bus stay twiddling your ovolo . How much better ? We do n’t know , because AT&T does n’t say just how tight either of these connection is . Which to us , is more of an annoyance than $ 10 per gig data overages . [ AT&T ]
