See, here is the thing though, the ISP doesn't come in and charge you extra for other devices you have running. I have a wifi router in my apartment and can run both my desktop and my laptop. I am not using extra bandwidth from Comcast, merely splitting the bandwidth I am paying for.
Now perhaps this is where I may be missing something. Is there no set bandwidth on a cellular network like there is with say a cable internet? Say for example I pay for 20Mb down/5Mb up from Comcast for my home internet, no matter how many devices I am running, I can't go past those speeds, so the number of devices is irrelevant.
Now I don't know what the 4G LTE speeds are so I will make up some numbers just for example so let's say it's 25Mb down and 10Mb up. If I am running both my phone and a laptop, can they both run at 25mb down and 10Mb up simultaneously or do they have to share that speed limit? Because if there is a speed limit capability and since I have a data cap, I am still not understanding how I can be using more bandwidth regardless of how many devices I have running at the same time.
the speed is SHARED, same as with your home router.
