Overall
T-Mobile's Wireless Broadband gets 3 out of 5 stars. They excel in customer service and provide the cheapest wireless broadband among major carriers. However, the T-Mobile network is lacks 3G mobile broadband speed and coverage when compared to AT&T, Sprint and Verizon.
At $49.99 a month for
T-Mobile Total Internet for Data Cards, It's not much more expensive that DSL or
Cable. Most companies price their mobile broadband at $59.99 a month. For cost
we give them 5 out of 5 stars. Read the full
T-Mobile review

Speed is the weakness
of T-Mobile Wireless Broadband. This
is thanks to court cases slowing their rollout of a 3G network. As Verizon, AT&T
and Sprint look towards widening their footprints using
4G(pop-out)
technology, T-Mobile is left
playing catch-up.
