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...
