AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G LTE vs. Verizon 4G LTE MiFi

I'm doing some testing to compare the AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G LTE to a Verizon 4G LTE MiFi.

Download speed edge seems to go to AT&T, while the upload speed seems reasonably close.


AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G LTE

Down: 28.19 Mb/s
Up : 7.84 Mb/s


Verizon 4G LTE MiFi

Down: 19.36 Mb/s
Up : 6.73 Mb/s

In initial testing I've had some trouble getting the AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G LTE to be recognized by the computer. I've downloaded the most current version of AT&T Communication Manager software, and will continue testing on both a MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

Note:
I also have and AT&T USBConnect Shockwave 3G. It's results are a lot slower:

Down: 5.11 Mb/s
Up : .95 Mb/s

Here's a live streaming test with Ustream Producer Pro and the AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G LTE:



In the video the question of cost came up.

Here are the answers:
