Re: T-Mobile Announces Truly Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data
#2Unlimited? There are limits all over the place:
- Signal quality.
- Phone performance.
- Network throughput.
A "truly unlimited" connection would have you downloading at ∞bps so I suggest both words in "truly unlimited" are slightly incorrect.
I think they mean unmetered.

I'm getting hammered for "snark" but I'm being serious. If you let impossible phrases like "unlimited" stand in marketing, people get the wrong idea, products are wrongfully sold.
I'm only this angry with T-Mobile because they've had the audacity to stick "truly" in front of it.

#3Stop with the unlimited please. Give us a high limit.

There's no need for snark, I'm pretty sure everyone knows what they mean by this.
Unlimited as in, yes, unmetered. Not "unlimited", with a 2.5pt footnote somewhere that says "Actually 5 gigs/mo"

#6Could I replace my Comcast internet with this? Is there a way to buy a "modem" that will plug into my existing router via ethernet? Does anyone know?

There is a need for snark. Claiming unlimited when it's not is ridiculous doublespeak. It's lying.
They need to stop doing this, it confuses non-technical people. Advertise the limit clearly. Make it a big number if they need to grab attention.

Most cellular modems are USB devices, intended to be plugged into (laptop) computers.
You should be able to use something like the awesome ASUS WL-330N3G credit-card sized 3G router (http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Routers/WL330N3G/), once 4G-capable versions become available. Which I really hope they will.
Of course, you could also replace your router with a 4G USB-capable one.

..but in this case, there isn't one. FTA:
No data caps, speed limits, or bill shock
It's pretty explicit to there being no artificially imposed limits of any kind.

You could use Windows Internet Connection Sharing.
Right-click the connection on your computer, share it, and then plug the ethernet cable from your computer into your router.
