    I've been using my iPhone as a hotspot... I switched to Ting wireless for my carrier and get their unlimited plan @ 30 gigs a month for $45.00. I'm not a gamer but watch Netflix and do the internet thing with my laptop w no issues.

    I just saw a video on YouTube that Verizon just started a $65 Unlimited WiFi plan on their prepaid service. You can get the JetPack on Amazon for $175 new and $126 refurbished.

    sorry but it can't be slower than dial up the slowest a jet pack can run is 3g (144kbps)
    the fastest dial up can be is 56k (56kbps)

    I bought a Verizon tablet. I've always had my Verizon phone.

    I like Verizon just didn't have luck with my Jetpack, maybe mine was defective or something along those lines? I dont know, it was so slow it became pointless even trying to use it, couldn't view anything without it taking forever to load...
