I think we'll dump our ATT at home and just use this little box from Clear. If we both go on a trip we'll take it with us. If one person is home, we go back to the other way of hunting for a free WIFI connection or use our 3G data plan from our iPhone4's.
So for $20 a month more, I get much faster internet and portability.

It should be fast, 4G LTE has the ability to be in the 70-100Mbs range. which is ridiculously fast for an over the air network, whether or not that is what you get is a different story (its all about the money remember!).
These speeds are much faster than most in house internet connections. Even Verizon FiOS doesn't beat that until you reach their highest tier connections.
So if your Clearspot 4G+ has the same speeds as LTE should have, dropping your house internet might be a good idea.
EDIT UPON FURTHER RESEARCH
So I took the liberty to look up this product and see what it actually is all about. It seems that it is unfortunately not real 4G and by a longshot. They claim speeds of 6-9Mbits with "bursts" over 10. This is not 4G speed by definition. 4G speeds need to be around 100Mbits on a mobile style network. They are using it as a catch-phrase as opposed to what 4G actually should be. This does not mean that 6-9Mbits is sluggish in fact those are decent numbers for broadband internet.
