    Agreed. More expensive but the alternative won't cut it. I use to work for Waste Management as a dispatcher and Gloucester, Northumberland, Richmond, and Lancaster county convenience centers were my territory. Miss that gang.

    Just make sure you go with a Carrier that has 4g/LTE in areas you will be traveling through.

    I use Prepaid Straight Talk 3G at Wal Mart. But, I don't stream videos. 5 gb for 50 bucks, no contract. Last me about 30-40 days before it runs out. If you stream, this isn't for you. Truck stop wifi blows. You can sign up for the service, but it does you no good if the service is slow, or there are no networks to connect to, or it just doesn't work and you're on the phone with tech support.

    Verizon hotspot WiFi was the solution for me. Most areas OTR I get decent 4G.
