Like I say, information is scarce. You don't have a clue what you are

It's like a 'pot luck' service.

It's actually pretty clear if you step through the ordering process.

You can have a data plan added to your cellphone's voice plan for tethering
and pay the above rates. Speeds are slower than if you used a data
connection card.

Not necessarily -- it all depends on the device -- my Motorola RAZR V3xx
is as fast as other HSDPA devices I've tested, including PC Cards.

If you use your connection card SIM in a cellphone, you get charged an
extremely high rate. I'm open to correction if I didn't state that
correctly. I do not know the charges when you stick a cellphone SIM into a
data card.

Doesn't matter what device it's in -- what matters is the amount of data
transferred and whatever data pricing is on that account.
