Question 1

Can I use this and replace my home internet service that I have with Comcast...I use my internet very very little to check emails and surf occassionally...also what and where do i connect this?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can. This MiFi device lets you connect to the Sprint 3G or 4G LTE Cellular Service thru the local cell towers that supply the Sprint network. The connection speed may be slower than the Comcast network, but it is plenty fast enough for Email and browsing. FreedomPop has many different plans to serve your needs. I use this MiFi device when I travel mostly, using the 500 MB Free Plan with the Roll Over Add-on Service so that my Data Limit will build by rolling over the unused data limit up to a collected max of ~20 GB. You will save money and be very happy with this service if you can get a good 4G LTE connection to the Sprint Network Tower from where you are located. Go Online and check the coverage map for your location. - - - Shorto

Accepted Answer

U-Verse is a broadband home internet service, FreedomPop is a mobile network (running on Sprint LTE in case of this device) - similar to AT&T Wireless.  Replacing home broadband with mobile might be possible, if your monthly bandwidth use is very low.
