A lot of good things can be said about a product that's customizable. Not only will it be able to appeal to more people, but it will also be able to match your specific needs much better too. There will also very likely be more price points you can take advantage of as well thanks to the product being customizable. Although some internet service providers claim to have a number of different plans for you to sign up for, they're really more or less variations of the same thing. Only 4G internet has plans that are really different from one another. Because it is more customizable than anything else, you'll be able to tailor it to your particular needs much better.
The main reason why the connection is so customizable has to do with the fact that it's based on cellular technology, which of course is wireless. Cable and DSL on the other hand are based on wired technologies that are inherently more rigid and restricting. There are some things you can do with a cellular connection that you just can't do with a connection that requires wires to work. For example, although you'd be able to use 4G internet all over the country, you'd be limited to using either cable or DSL in and around your home. A cellular infrastructure is much more flexible than anything else.
In order for you to take full advantage of the latest in cellular technology, you have to make use of the appropriate hardware. Most laptops don't come with that kind of hardware built-in though, which initially presents a problem. Thankfully, various USB modems have been developed that give laptops the ability to connect to the network. All you have to do is plug the modem into a USB port and you'd be able to connect moments later. No complicated installation will be required.
You don't have to use a USB modem if you don't want to. Part of the reason why 4G is so versatile has to do with the fact that you can use a standard modem too. There are plans that will see you supplied with such a modem, but you will essentially be limited to home usage due to the fact that you'd need to be close to an electrical outlet at all times. After all, a regular modem isn't going to be powered by your laptop like a USB modem would be.
All of the necessary pieces are now in place to understand the different 4G plans that you can sign up for. A basic home usage plan will supply you with a standard modem and give you access to the internet in and around your home. A mobile plan will allow you to access the internet all throughout your city and even beyond thanks to the USB modem it uses. A hybrid plan will add 3G connectivity to your supplied USB modem so that you can connect even outside of the coverage area. Finally, a combination plan will see you supplied with multiple kinds of hardware. For example, you might use a standard modem at home and use a USB modem everywhere else under a combination plan. As you can see, the 4G plans take advantage of all the resources available to them to give you access to a truly customizable solution.
