US Cellular 3G mobile broadband may start becoming 4G by the end of 2011. While late to the game, they’re still looking to join the race.

US Cellular 3G broadband cards have been reduced to one option. The PCD UM185. Incidentally, it’s the same card Cricket offers.

US Cellular 3G coverage is now nationwide thanks to a roaming partnership with Verizon. What about 4G though?

While US Cellular 3G speed hasn’t changed much, they do plan to launch 4G speed via LTE in 2011.

US Cellular 3G plans now include a $60 nationwide option with half the overage charges of the $50 plan.



Clear 4G coverage is now in 82 cities. That’s only 2 more than their goal for 2010. Why has growth slowed? Two words: power struggle.
