Which Carrier’s Smart Phone and Mobile Broadband Plans Are Cheapest?

Clear

When it comes to 4G coverage, you’ll be hard pressed to find better consumer-level options outside of Clear. The company, who also provides 4G coverage for Sprint, currently offers 4G mobile broadband access in 58 cities across the U.S. In areas that aren’t covered, you’ll switch over to their 3G network (which requires a $10 monthly fee). None of the plans include hardware, but you can choose to lease or buy a USB modem or mobile hotspot.

Mobile Broadband: Plans start at $25 monthly; unlimited usage on all plans, but lower-tier plans have slower download speeds.
