Internet access-who are you using

I thought u dont even need to pay for satelite internet, dont truck stops or rest area have free wifi for u to use?

 

Verizon broadband card....

Works really well in the northeast, super fast.

 

how much does it cost you a month?
about how much is the max download speed?
I can download as fast as 900kb/sec in my home cable internet

 

I currently have service through Tmobile, and my current phone (mytouch 4G running Android) is capable of creating wi-fi hotspots (tethering). Even though most carriers charge an additional fee for tethering, the current plan that I use has the tethering fees included. I used to have a Nexus One, and at the time it was the only phone capable of tethering.

I usually get excellent coverage in cities (like now for example), and when I'm stuck out in the middle of nowhere my coverage ranges from spotty to non-existant (Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, etc.).

Before I transfered my number over to Tmobile, I used to use the wi-fi hotspots at places like Flying J, Pilot, Petro, etc. The fees were small, and when I'm over the road I really don't use the internet that often unless I'm shutdown for a long period of time (34hr reset, etc.)

 

Up to 700Kbps for $50 month.

 

i've got the Verizon Mobile hot spot, 5GB/ month for $50/ month. It works everywhere!

The Verizon cards are pretty quick.

Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Card:
Full Retail Price $269.99
2-Year Contract $149.99
Online Discount -$50.00
PRICE $99.00

That is for the unit itself.
This is one of their Hotspot cards. I recommend it if you have a phone that can use WiFi, and multiple other devices that can connect.

Same here... Verizon broadband card, no complaints $50 per month. The network coverage is what you really have to look at - there are not a whole lot of places I can't get online at, even out in the boondocks.

For me its an indispensible tool, I'm not using it to say download video, so the 5 GB limit before data charges doesn't really affect me. I need it to download fuel location pricing, routing, weather maps, etc.

 

anyways, dont rest area or truck stops provide free wifi? I mean some mcdonalds even provide it and panera bread and other internet cafe shop, I mean I could save money without paying each month, I mean u cant really use the internet while driving so u better stop at a place and use it to do something useful like checking the weather and pay cell phone bills, check emails, etc.
