the main reason the wifi doesn't work all that well at truck stops, is that you got a lot of people watching online movies or playing games, and doing those two things eats up a lot of the bandwidth, the truck stops routers have.
I m glad I don't waste my money on that anymore.
Verizon Mifi, and phone is a hotspot as well. -
I'm on one of the old unlimited data plans that Verizon used to offer.
My phone has the only Internet that I have access to. Up until last month, I never noticed a difference. I guess I have been tagged as a top 5% user.
It is supposedly Verizon's policy to throttle the top 5% of users data during high use times. I am being throttled 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is no way you can tell me that 3 AM is a high used time.
It's too bad that I don't get what I pay for. I guess I should have looked at the microscopic print when I purchased the plan over 10 years ago. My guess is that there was no limit 10 years ago, they have changed the plan since then.
If I thought for one second that another company offers unlimited data, with no throttling, ever, I would move immediately. Verizon sucks, but it seems to be the only game in town for a trucker. -
millenicom dot com. Get a Verizon hotspot device with 20+ gig/month for about $69/mth, no contract. I'm grandfathered to 60 gig allowance but I see they no longer offer 60 and is now 20

They can keep it..
No Internet is better than theirs. -
This sounds like their way of motivating you to move away from a contract that they agreed to. Hate how companies can do this!Friz Thanks this.
