    I'm about to buy a full year subscription wifi, they are the same price at $150, but which one should I get?
    What are the pros and cons of each truck stop for wifi?

    I'd rather go with a plan from verizon, cricket, etc. That way I'm not tied to any one truckstop. I spend many nights at consignees or shippers and it is nice to be able to access the internet anywhere I am.

    I would second the Verizon thing too. That way you can use it where ever you are. If you but the Pilot or TA one you are restricted to using it there and plus the bottle neck of all the rest of the people using that wireless connection at the truck stop too.

    Check out T-Mobile services. $59.95\month for 5GB of usuage. Have had them for 5.7 yrs and have had no problems. Excellent service\reception areas.
    Just my .02 cents worth.

    You can't use your points to buy WiFi time at Pilot but you can at TA/Petro. 15000 points will get you a year.
