- $10 plan gets you access to 7Mb/2Mb network (confirmed) where available
- $10 plan is limited to the "internet2" APN
- $10 plan may route your traffic through gateway or proxy server, somewhere in the midwest, irregardless of where you actually are

- $25 smartphone plan enables access to multiple APNs
- $25 smartphone plan routes your traffic via access point closer to where you actually are
- $25 smartphone plan gets you access to 7Mb/2Mb network (confirmed) where available
