When the first iPad came out, I got mine along with an AT&T ulimited 3G internet connection. I don’t rely on any free wifi signal to get to the Internet, watch Netlix movies etc. But when it comes to downloads, some are too big that I need a wifi signal which I have at home. It’s more than two years now and I’m still enjoying my iPad deal with AT&T unlimited internet for $30.00 a month.
If you purchased an iPad now, AT&T discontinued that unlimited contract last year so you will pick plans where payment rates depend on your gig usage.
