Well, get SBC to give me more than 3mbs at the S&B and I might consider cutting the cord. That is the highest download speed available in my area. Based upon our data usage, I would need to pay Verizon about $600 per month even before we add in the streaming GB data.
For now, I'm sticking with DTV satellite service for my video.
Well if you are a Version customer they now have a New 30 gig per month wifi hotbox with unlimited slower wifi after 30 gig inside the month and resets each month back to higher speed for only $20 per month prepaid.
Its unlimited on the road almost anywhere..
Shop around cause mobile hot spots from cell phone companies are in a war to compete with unlimited wifi at a cheap cost with a sign up with there cell phone service..
Unlimited Internet on the go is making its way back folks..
Well ... the problem with those so called "unlimited" Internet access plans via the cellular tower system is ... they're unlimited with regards to data but they throttle the speed down after a certain data quantity is reached. We would need more than 100 gigabits per month kept "at speed" (greater than 5-6 Mbps) in order to cut the cord.
It's a neat marketing trick/lie they're pulling on us when they state that they're offering "unlimited" service.
The first trick is on the road or at home - be able to cut the cord and stream from the Internet with an "always on" unlimited data and constant full (4G or greater) speed cellular tower based Internet service.
The second trick and better still approach is ... when on the road or camping with the RV ... be able to get and afford - UNLIMITED DATA AND CONTINUOUS FULL SPEED satellite based Internet access inside the RV. That'll be the day!
