    I also have verizon and am happy with it. I run cross country and there are some deadspots but less than sprint.You are limited to 5g's for 63 dollars a month. I haven't come close to 5g's yet but I don't download much.

    Most truck stop chains have their own wifi network at around $20 a month. You'll find a few places it is broke and need of repairs. If you're cheap like me it suffices and you can work around it. I usually sleep at the customers and you're usually at a truck stop when you fire up the laptop, so why not?

    Pay for service at the TA 20.00 month
    Pay for service at Pilot 20.00 month

    You have spent 40.00

    Now what happens if you spend 10 hours at a rest area with no wifi?

    Take your ten hour at a shipper, why not have internet available?

    I spend very few nights at truck stops.
