    Probably one of the key differentiators that I didn't see addressed here is how the providers allocate the data cap. After the initial offering, I contacted AT&T and they noted that it wasn't/isn't 22GB per line before the data is throttled. It is 22GB for however many lines are associated with the account. If you have two lines, it's not bad with 11GB per line to work with. To be clear, each line isn't limited to 11GB before the throttling kicks in. You still have the 22GB to play with across the devices, but as you can imagine, that 22GB cap starts getting more likely to get hit each month with 3-4 lines in the mix. e.g., 4 lines gives you around 5.5GB of "unlimited" data each month. :-/

    has as anyone seen if the other providers allow the respective caps per line rather than as part of a shared unlimited allocation?

    From where are you getting that T-Mobile's 10GB tethering is split between all lines on the account? I can't find anything that states that. Everything I've found implies that it's 10GB per line.

    EDIT: Actually, I can't find anything stating that Verizon's is not 10GB per line as well. I've seen multiple places claiming it is 10GB per line as well. Where are you sourcing these claims from?
    T-Mobile's and Verizon's PR.
    Where? I've looked at their press releases and I don't see that.


    EDIT: From USA Today, where they say Verizon's hotspot is 10GB per line, not per account: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/2017/02/15/here-catches-verizons-unlimited-data-plan/97959130/
    The press releases on the PR sub-sites, and what we get emailed aren't always the same. I'll look more into this today, and make some calls about it.
