Comcast adds Houston to 4G list

US mobile provider Comcast will create a new 4G high speed mobile internet service for Houston, Texas next year. Comcast has just launched a 4G network in Portland, with other US cities – including Atlanta, Chicago, and Philadelphia – following soon.

The initial offering will be an all data network – no voice. Data cards will be available free with a one year contract or for $99 for customers who prefer to pay on a monthly basis.

The new service will automatically switch between 3G and 4G networks when 4G is not available.

Customers will be able to choose between a fixed data usage plan of 5GB per month or an unlimited data plan for a higher subscription charge.
