You obviously have no idea what things cost. My USB computer adapter to use on verizon costs me 60 a month. 35 seems like a steal.
Got a tip for us?

I'm sure you get unlimited data. I have the sprint usb for my laptop and for $65/month they provide unlimited data. Of course the terms and services prevent me from going over 10GB/month but even at home I don't use more than 3GB/month.
Vzw has a good pricing offer compared to ATT however I'm against the idea of having multiple devices to make one single device work. Lucky for me, I'm always surrounded by wifi (unless driving) so I didn't find the need to purchase a 3G iPad. On the other hand, for times when I need 3G data service - I simply use my BB browser and can tether it to my iPad, if needed, but haven't done so yet and doubt will need to.

I went the Android route for my phone and bought the latest offering from T-Mobile. The MyTouch 4G has a wonderful feature that allows me connect two wi-fi devices to it while still being able to use data on my phone.
Most Android 2.2 devices have a software based wireless router feature included unless your carrier nixed it. Works great with my wi-fi iPad and and anything else that I may need to get online on the road.
Best part so far is T-Mobile has not capped their data plans yet. 😀

Clear ispot for $25 per month with unlimited data. Live just south of Baltimore and spend a lot of time around the beltway and have great coverage and speeds.

I have looked at the clear ispot web site a few times and I have yet to find the $25 a month plan.

Did not see this article yet. Just checked the forums and it looks like my $25 plan will remain grandfathered in, which is good news for now (until they decide to change).
I think the ispot was a good option but not anymore since it's no longer available.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!

I looked around your linked article but I am not sure what it is supposed to tell me.

As the poster above you stated - the device is discontinued. That was the point of linking the article.
Edit: I see the link wasn't working. I updated it to work now.
