    My bf is a new otr driver and I'm in college online and would love to travel with him till I can start driving school (one college thing at a time). What is the best way to go for internet? I don't think wifi alone will cut it. Suggestions???

    Just get a Verizon smartphone, hotspot it to your computer if you need it. If you like Netflix or YouTube, get also T-Mobile with unlimited data

    I just use my iPad or iPhone. Either work as a wifi hotspot. And Verizon is definitely the way to go. AT&T would be a distant second.

    Cheapest way to obtain verizons reliable service is to buy an old 4G phone that has the HotSpot option and pay $20 for the phone line plus whatever amount for the Data package.

    Looked up and talked to an agent about the MiFi and Thanks So Much. 199.00 to buy the USB with no contract at $80 a month to cover my full time college needs is awesome. So worth it to be on the road with my man. Thanks!!:D
