Not necessarily.
Perhaps for a full timer, but for those of us who only want to use the device for a few months out of the year (and then only for a couple weeks during each month at that), this service is way, way, less expensive.
Case in point, I only want the service about 3 to 5 months a year and need less than 1 GByte per month.... for a total cost of $45 to $75 .... per year.
I have this service and have been extremely pleased with it .... so far. Yes, it is only 3G, but for our usage this is just fine. The device uses the Verizon network. I have it mounted in our trailer, adjacent to an interior "candy stick" antenna that is connected to a Wilson 3G amplifier and external antenna for even better coverage in those areas that we frequent....usually where there isn't any 4G signal anyway. It also is networked (via WiFi) to a WiFi Ranger mobile router/boost combination.
