Stop with the unlimited please. Give us a high limit.
They offer plans with 10gb limit too. Which seems like a pretty large amount of data to be using without tethering.
T-Mobile Announces Truly Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data

Re: T-Mobile Announces Truly Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data
#22Could 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?
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.
Could you point me to an example of a 4G USB-capable router with ethernet ports?
For some reason my searches are failing.

#23I was hoping that this would be a data-only plan and that you could get it without a voice line. Unfortunately, this "unlimited" plan is just an add-on to a voice plan. I really want someone to offer $30-50 : 10GB / month service so that I can completely avoid the issues of minutes and SMS counts. :/

#24I'm currently on a very limited "unlimited" data plan with T-Mobile. I find it rather insulting that they would announce a new plan that makes the same claim. "For reals this time". That's all well and good, but they need to honor the deal they made with previous customers as well. Why would I pay an extra $20 when you lied last time?

Yes, that's how the ASUS works for 3G sharing. It has a bunch of different modes, but that is one of them.

#26I share doubts about whether their "unlimited" truly means unlimited, but I am also dubious of the "nationwide" claim. Don't zoom in too close on their coverage map or those vast swaths of comforting green (strong signal, yeah!) dissolve into pale yellows and whites (hm, maybe 2G, maybe nothing?).

They use SIM cards, right? Just pop the card in a 4G USB stick and you are done.
Sure, but that's against the rules.
Huh? How could there be rules against that? That seems weird. I'm not aware of any such rules in Germany. If you have a SIM card you can do with it whatever you want.

This just about covers you (search for "Great for video chat, streaming music/movies/TV, playing online games, and more"):

You still get 100 minutes of talk, but you get unlimited texts and "unlimited" 4G data (first 5GB at 4G speeds, then you get throttled). All this for $30/month pre-paid.

T-Mobile already has an unlimited plan that they reneged on, why should anyone trust them this time?

Well, I guess T-Mobile USA ain't the same. One of the rules you agree to when you sign up for this plan is that you won't use the SIM card in a modem.
