Hi Guys,A few years ago I found some info on Millenicom on this forum and another forum. Millenicom offered a pretty good data plan with Verizon at a great deal. Over time they went up in price and finally Verizon cut them off and offered deals to their customers at a hefty price. This was good for me as a storm chaser but was still expensive.Well last year Huntsville City Schools in Huntsville, AL started a big digital transition. They have got rid of textbooks and replaced them with laptops. All kids have a laptop now and they encountered another problem. Kids with no internet at home. So they partnered with Verizon and started a great deal where parents get a Verizon MiFi router at a good price.Well earlier in August they opened their program to the general public. There is no geographic restriction for use or purchase. The MiFi router is included and the best news is it is UNLIMITED 4g LTE data over Verizon for only $47.75 a month. I've used it all over the US including Chicago and Nashville within the last few weeks and I have had no issues with it at home.If you are interested head to http://hsvwifi.com Thanks again for all the great info in the past - hope you guys enjoy this service.Wes

Is this legit? Good price if it is.

He mentions getting advice on this forum several years ago and he just joined today :hI did go to the site - Omni Lynx - and it sounds legit but it also states:The OmniLynx™ Program offers access to an unlimited data plan that is not otherwise accessible by non-government users. Due to the potential for increased burden on network infrastructure during peak hours of utilization, the service provider reserves the full right to reduce data transfer speeds (commonly referred to as "throttling") as necessary. So it is unlimited but subject to throttling.

The link appears to be legit. Google Huntsville Alabama schools.

Lighten up guys. You can read posts and get advice without joining but you must join to post. I went and looked and it appears to be legit (also found nes articles about it)but it does include the following statement:"The OmniLynx™ Program offers access to an unlimited data plan that is not otherwise accessible by non-government users. Due to the potential for increased burden on network infrastructure during peak hours of utilization, the service provider reserves the full right to reduce data transfer speeds (commonly referred to as "throttling") as necessary."I'm seriously considering changing to it and lowering my current data plan with Verizon.

Temporary freeze.. until this is thoroughly researched Unlocked* The OmniLynx™ Program offers access to free equipment upon establishment of new line(s) of wireless Internet service. Though no term contract is required to participate in the OmniLynx™ Program, ownership of equipment does not transfer to a user until the first day of the thirteenth (13) month of consecutive service, per line. In the event of service line termination prior to the first day of the thirteenth (13) month of consecutive service, all equipment must be returned to the OmniLynx™ Offices at 200 White Street, Huntsville, AL 35801.The OmniLynx™ Program offers access to an unlimited data plan that is not otherwise accessible by non-government users.

When it opens back up again, for those who were asking about long term commitments and the like, this is a month to month deal. They retain ownership of the unit for 13 months so if you cancel the service before that you simply must return the free unit they shipped you. After 13 months you own the MiFi device.

i think it should be mentioned
as far as i can tell from the website, that not buying service for a month is the same as canceling

this IS NOT, turn on service when you want it, then turn it off, it is a monthly commitment, you can cancel any time, no contract, but it IS CONTINUOUS SERVICE,
NO putting it on hold !

just want to avoid confusion of "I thought I could xxx"

as far as the "X-UHID" concern and targeted ads
i would much rather see an adv for RV stuff or electronics, etc.. than pampers, Porn, or other things

besides I run adblock anyway
and google, amazon and frys, already know all about me
from what i look at and buy

Good point. I suppose that after 13 months of continuous payments, and the unit belongs to you, maybe you could! I wonder what would happen if you offered to provide your own MiFi or Air Card?

sure they will, if you use more and traffic is high, they will just throttle your speed, which slows down your video streaming

i still have a grandfathered unlimited data plan for my phone
i just bought a new phone samsung S4 retail from amazon

because galaxy nexus died

activated last week, getting great speed most of the time,
but it throttles down during high traffic hours, but heck i used 60gig last month
several weeks of triple digit heat, had me sitting inside streaming and downloading movies, including all ten episodes of Narcos from netflix
on amazon you can rent or buy and download to your mobile device , tablet, phone , PC etc,, havent tried the NEW free download yet

IF:

a) Verizon is actually providing anything over 20G 4g data (let alone unlimited)
b) it's available all over the US when travelling
c) it's available on the shared data plan
d) it's not throttled 12 hours a day
e) it's under $50 a month

SIGN ME UP.

It is not going to be a part of any shared data plan. It's a stand alone service. You will still need to pay for a minimal level of data for your phones.
