GOBI retrofit

Any news on retrofitting the 4G GOBI into a GOBI 2000 equipped machine?

 

I have no idea but would LOVE to have 4G from my ATT account in my C1!!!

 

I'm tempted to try tethering my 4G ATT phone to see what the improvement is. It's a Blackberry though, so it might even slow things down.

 

I'm not sure how much more 4G would bring me. First of all there are no providers for that , secondly, I can get quite nice speeds with the current Ericsson F5521gw adapter.

 

In case you missed this:

AT&T customers surprised by 'unlimited data' limit

 

That sounds about right, I am grandfathered in on the unlimited plan. BUT the unlimited plan is only 5gb in the fine print.

 

I have 5GB total... and that's $50/month... If I go over, another 10GB is another $10 and so on... I get what I pay for fairly

 

Rob and I have been discussing this exact topic. I am wanting to install one in my 30 MK3. I called my buddy at Buytough and inquired when he is going to start selling them on his site. From what I have gathered from him it is only with Verizon as of this time. For me that's awesome as I already have 4G with them. He has not seen or heard of Panasonic or anyone for that matter using one in a 30. He told me if I want to buy one I can come up there and he will see if he can get it to work. I'll keep you posted if I find out anything on my end.

 

I pay <$5/month for 5GB, on 3G/HSDPA connection (5-6Mbps DL, 1.3 UL).
I don't know what's the cost after the limit, because I never got to use it that much. It's there with my Gobi2k, in case I need it as a backup internet connection.
If only the network coverage would be half decent out of the major cities.

Competing operator's mobile data plans are a few times more expensive, with better coverage, but not (usually) needed in my case.
