It' a cellular router and was $315. I took the SIM card from my tablet and upgraded the data package for it with AT&T for $20/month - our shitty satellite internet service was $70/month and we usually bought $20-$30 worth of additional data every month.

This thing is BAD ASS. We've been streaming movies, YT and the kids are online gaming without any issues for about two weeks now. Cell service is marginal at best at our house. 2 bars on the phone on a good day. You could get yagi antennas to mount on the roof if your signal is REAL bad. I thought I'd try the unit with the antennas it came with before getting the yagi's and we don't need them apparently.

If you have a cell signal at your rural/remote location, I highly recommend this.
I never considered this. I get about 2 bars on my cell with AT&T and currently use a Rise Broadband antenna getting about 3 Mb/s while paying $56 a month for 100 Mb/s because they have not upgraded their antenna out on Badger Mt. Fortunately, I don't game, but even HULU is often buffering.

So, does AT&T just consider this another device on your plan and you pay for unlimited data for that device? Does AT&T throttle-back your data after a certain amount?
