Don't even bother with wifi.Verizon air card $59 a month unlimited use.
I have had there air card for 2 years wouldn't and don't leave home without it.I travel the 48 and some Canada never been without service. -

Most national chain truckstops do have WiFi and that's how I connect when on the road. The air cards are convenient, but in remote locations your connection rate is not much better than dial up. I would rather pay 20 bucks a month and have high speed connections all the time when I shut down at night, than 50-60 bucks a month and fight slow speeds for the convenience of connecting anywhere. The math doesn't add up right to me, but that's just me.

what do you mean 20.00?

Wifi at truckstops are good if you only stop at the one chain.
However, I rarely spend the night at a truck stop. So Wifi at a truck stop is not very reliable to me. I have compared the air card and found the speed to be about the same especially with large numbers of users.
Also, the security of the privacy is also a concern and the air card is preferred. -

When I was 48 state, I had monthly accounts with both SiriCOMM and Flying J. It cost me about $41/month for both of them, and with the Roadking card deal at T/A, I was covered at about 85% of the truck stops nationwide. -
thanks - good info
