    They should post a listing of which stops have premium WiFi, and a list of those with planned upgrades with premium. As it stands now you have to enter a location or zip code.

    I got the T-Mobile Hotspot WiFi ... $50 a month for 10gig and unlimited video. I've had it since April. OTR all over the country, I can count one one hand the times I haven't been able to stream video.

    Salinas CA Pilot wifi sux. Laptop will see it and try to connect then the pfj wifi will disappear all night. Also couldn't get it going at Santa Rosa NM Pilot but that may have been because I was parked with my trailer facing the building. Stopped in a exit 36 Pilot on I 40 Texas, wifi came in strong. Last time I used it this week.

    So this why everyone parks next to the fuel pumps, scale and exit ........ better WiFi reception

    And here I thought truckers needed to be close so they could make a dash to the crapper after dining on a slice of pizza and 6 wings :fart:

    They have been running a free 10 day trial, maybe someone can confirm if it is still going on. If so, sign up and give it a try for yourself.

    Cheaper than my other line.
    But not faster.
    $~100 a month for Unlimited Verizon Data.
    I use it only for data.


    Useless a lot of guys are using Phones and Tablets now, which don't have an Ethernet Port.
