True that.  Plus, under the plan, one only gets 5GB on 3G, so if you get outside the 4G connection, there are other limits, besides just speed.  That's why I'm saying the beach probably won't work.  ;-)

It does, if you have coverage.  If you're counting on 4G being
everywhere, you'll be sorely disappointed.  While 4G is great when you
have it, the coverage areas for all carriers of it are quite small.
Consider if 3G makes your mobile office possible and you're thinking
along the right lines.  4G will just be gravy when you're in a
coverage area.
