Which internet service?

We use the Millenicom service with a Verizon compatible Mifi (Novatel 4620LE which has an antenna jack) at home and on the road. We add a router to the setup for the house and the Mifi by itself when traveling as it supports up to 10 simulateneos computer connections to share its internet connection.

Thanks to all for theinput.

We use the VERIZON MIFI plan which is grandfathered from way back and we have the 3GB dataplan with it for $27 a month. Being on the VERIZON network it works anywhere we pickup Verizon cell phone service which is just about anywhere we go. If you are going to need a lot of data then the MILLENICOM network may be your best bet as it also uses the VERIZON NETWORK for up to 20GB... I think it switches to a SPRINT PLAN if you need more than 20GB...

I have my VERIZON MIFI unit always docked in a WILSON SLEEK CRADLE which supports an outside antenna and this helps out even more for connectivity. The MIFI generates a secure local WIFI HOTSPOT for up to five of your devices to use at the same time.

Works great for us on the road...

We also gave up on STA TV when the National Broadcast came out with their digital high def TV. We get 6-36 local high def TV from the local towns here on the East side of the US just about everywhere we go. This is all free to the public and we use our BATWING antenna to pick them up with. This doesn't include some of those CABLE channels everyone wants to view but what you do get is full blown high digital HDTV signals for all of the NETWORK channels and a few movie channels... Sometimes FREE is better hehe...

The current satellite internet services available are Hughes Gen4, Excede and Wild Blue. None of which can be used by a mobile user due to the use of spot beams. The "old" Hughes HN7000S modem is still usable as well as Starband. If you are going where NO cell service they can be a viable option but it's a quite large antenna mounted on a large surveyor tripod. Plan on $1000 plus for the hardware and around $60/month (contract required in many cases). Speeds are much better than dial up but cannot begin to compare to 3G and 4G just makes it a feel like a joke.

There are satellite services available, but they are usually slower than dialup,expensive,and you need a different dish. I a word.... It sucks.
Your better off with a cellular internet service. Many use Millenicom probably the best deal, Verizon, ATT
