We have been fulltiming for over 12 years and up until last year used DirecTV satellite for our TV viewing. We had planned our trip last year to Alaska and new we would lose satellite in Canada and Alaska so we cut the cord. We have a unlimited plus AT&T plan and now also have prepaid Verizon unlimited MiFi plan. We were already using Netflix’s and Amazon Prime so we added DirecTV Now. We had great success streaming in Canada and Alaska. Only one location in lower 48 was a problem and that as a TT’s Park in Cottonwood, AZ but knowone had service. One nice thing about stream is I know longer have to worry about the satellite being blocked by anything when we setup. We are very happy with streamingand also save money as we had the largest DTV satellite package.

How much does an unlimited plus AT&T plan run and how much does a prepaid Verizon unlimited MiFI plan cost. And would that be enough for a full Saturday of football games?
Unlike some who camp to get away from TV, our group goes to all of our university's home football games and some away games in the fall. When we are not in the stadium watching our team, we tend to have the TV on showing other games that are being aired.
To answer your first question: I can only speak to the prepaid. $70/mo and if you have it set up to autopay, it drops to $65.
The answer to your second question is “It depends”. It depends on which tower you are pinging off of when you want to stream. Prepaid plans have little to no priority for bandwidth, so if lots of people are pinging your tower, your prepaid mifi could be virtually useless.
At my home a little north of you, my mifi is nearly as good as my cable modem. We’ve been on a winter escape this winter and have experienced it all from great to ****.
