Since the kids discovered Netflix, my main Comcast broadband connection has 
gotten completely trashed and is unusable

Included with the Thunderbolt is free MiFi router capability – so you can use 
your computer connection through it (which I now do when the kids are using 
Netflix)

Since I’m personally not a very heavy user (just doing VPN for work at home) if 
it wasn’t for streaming video, I’d probably just cancel comcast

I used a new Thunderbolt in Orlando during the CTIA show where Verizon turned 
up their 4G.  Speedtest.net gave a 9MB download and 38MB upload but when I went 
to run Pandora, it warned me it couldn't play the higher quality stream so 
basically it was an impressive 32byte ping but fell on it's face once you used 
it.  Unimpressed, that's why I refer to cell phone Internet as "Play Internet"
