I have Verizon MiFi and run mostly between Houston and Toronto with some trips to VA and PA . The only time I've been unable to get a signal was in Steele , MO .
My wife and I drove in our POV from KY to MA with the passenger often on the laptop . The Mifi never lost a signal going down the road .
I had a subscription to Flying J before the Pilot buyout and it was very satisfactory . When Pilot and T/A went to Wandering Wifi I gave up trying to use their WiFi -
There are many places in those states that are away from the main roads. I have lost signal in northern Maine. When you go out west, there are many areas even on the interstate that have no signal. Extremely far less than you experience with AT&T.

Here is the company that supplies wifi to Flying J. Drop them a note and tell them about their service. http://www.wanderingwifi.com/contact.html Here is Flying J customer service. Let them know about their wifi service. http://www.pilotflyingj.com/customer-service

That wasn't my experience with AT&T . My carrier tried several providers including AT&T and chose Verizon . I have never failed to get a signal.
AT&T may have improved in recent years . -
Only reason I switched to AT&T was for my wife to have phone service when we took them out of the cars. Verizon finally came into our home area and her drive.
Spent 5 hours sitting on the road with no service with AT&T twice in 2 different states. Now, when I drive through there, Verizon has service. The guy I travel with has AT&T and has no service.
Would not even consider them again.NDBADLANDS Thanks this. -
Waste of money,Truck-stop wifi are the worse.They got me once never again.They just need to make it free and stop ripping people off.

I use it for online video watching, or if I need to download a file. I'd rather use the truck stop WiFi than use up my 5g with Verizon.
If it's going to be slow I just set the computer to not sleep, plug in my laptop fan, put something over the screen and go to bed. Usually by the time I wake up the file I needed to download will be done.
Works great if you had a system crash and need to download things again like anti-virus, computer utilities, games, etc.luvtotruck Thanks this. -
I could not agree more.......my contract is up in Oct. and I cannot wait. I almost paid the breaking contract fee, just to be done with this company.

I've had AT&T for years. Around here it's better then Verizon. We had Verizon for years until they developed this echoing problem that still exists. Not to mention the cost was more.
I used a AT&T mifi when I was out during the week. Worked good enough for what I was using it for. Mainly movies and skyping. Of course I had to sign up for a year and only used it for 3 months. Still got to pay that bill every month till the contract ran out.
