Dan, I use both AT&T & Verizon. Most places we travel the Verizon is best. Download speeds are always better than the hotels, when away from Wi-Fi I open the Mi-Fi's & can get the data I need when I connect the laptop. Both come with 5 gig a month as their base & yes more than one device can connect at once but your going to reduce your download speed for you are using cellular. You charge them as you would your phone & you'll get several hours of use, leave charged in & use as a normal router. Rumors had surfaced that the new Apple MacBook Pro might have cellular built on, oh don't we wish.
