Great time to buy Verizon MiFi

Yes, for the high speed 3G internet. Overall AT&T has better cell coverage.

I have a MiFi and a wireless H-P printer. They work great together with my laptop. Beats running a usb cable from the printer in the sleeper to the laptop in the cab. MiFi works great, even when the cell phone signal is marginal.

 

You have to check the coverage map for your home to see which service covers you best. Overall AT&T has more coverage than any other company in states, but it's far from 100%.

AT&T has a huge coverage area, the problem is, most of it isn't 3g which is painfully slow, you have to be in a pretty major city to have 3g with AT&T, verizon is almost all 3g.

problem with sprint mobile broadband is high ping times and slow down and upload speeds.

problem with verizon is 5gb data cap.

problem with AT&T is crappy 3g coverage, and 5gb cap.

I'd reccommend sprint over all others, even if it is about 36kbs connection most 3g areas.

 

Must not be a lot of long term Verizon broadband users out here. I've had the service for years and retain the unlimited usage. I only recently found out that almost everyone has a 4-5Gb cap nowadays.

Sprint data services have always been excellent, and until the past few years they were by far the best (data) provider available. My beef with them has been major problems with customer service. I've had two major run-ins with them, once twenty five years ago and again about six years ago. No way I'd ever go back to them. At least with Verizon I can walk into a store and have a technician answer questions or fix things, or have a CSR take care of an issue (billing, service, etc.) and they are able to correct things on the spot.

 

used 20 gigs of data on my iPhone alone last month!

downloading movies over a jailbroke 3g connection for the winnn!

 

i have a tmobile webconnect plan and have the 5g cap also. tmobile's 3g network is tiny but...3g really isnt THAT big of a deal. Edge works just fine and i get that in a LOT of areas.

For some reason on the east coast i dont get much coverage at all, period. Heh.

 

No, AT@T does not have better coverage. Unless it just my phone(last RAZR before they discontinued them) several times I'll have little to no signal, but I'll have signal on my laptop. AT@T used to have the best cell coverage bar none, but has gooten worse in the last couple of years. Like I said if it wasn't for the Iphone, I would have already left.
And for all those who claim AT@T's Edge is just as fast as other carriers 3G, or that it is fast enough, sell crazy somewhere else. I have used them all and the Edge is SLOW. Like I said, it's a shame that the Iphone is handcuffed to such a crappy network.
