Just a quick follow up on my ZTE Z288L (red map/Verizon). I traveled through western Maryland today and the Z288L had good coverage all of the way through from Morgantown, WV to Hagerstown, MD. I tested the speeds (while my DW drove) and it kept steady with the 5 mbps download and 2 mbps upload that these units seem to be throttled at.
This was an important test for me because my old Straight Talk phone (Verizon, red map) was on the Verizon pre-pay network and totally lost coverage between Morgantown, WV and Frederick, MD. I was concerned that the ZTE 288L hotspot may also drop out in that area. I do travel through this area often for work. I also can't wait to fire up the RV and spend time in the Maryland mountain region and not just drive through it!
