I have had excellent service using the VERIZON MIFI HOTSPOT which is secured with password etc. Mine is old and needs updated and doesn't have but 3GB dataplan per month. It also has a slow throughput speed. It works fine for us as we only want to check in with the kids, pay a few bills, and sometimes do a minimal search on the internet.
You will need many GB's per month data plan if you are wanting to downstream TV programs or movies. I think the rule of thumb for these are something like a GB per hour of use.
The MIFI is a hotspot for up to five of our devices...
I also have a hotspot on my cell phone but when I am on it my cell phone is tied up. It too is old and I think the newer cellphones don't have this problem...
We do alot of OFF-ROAD camping not near the Interstates and Verizon always comes thru for us... Learned this the hard way when in my working years... Only Verizon would work the best in the far away places away from the large metropolitan areas...
