Carriers have the bandwidth. It costs them money to turn it on/increase it. And they're not going to do that without being able to make money on it, which, btw, I am fine with.
You want more bandwidth while you're traveling?...the issue isn't that you can't get it, it's that it's expensive. For awhile, I have two hotspots, one on ATT, the other on Verizon, so that I'd rarely, if ever, be without at least ONE connection, and I'd rarely be limited by bandwidth. I don't need that now, so I dropped the Verizon plan.
