We - and most of the full-timers we've been around - use Verizon and one of their MiFi hot-spots. We've been a number of places where Verizon was the only signal anyone could get. If you go with a "second tier" provider, make sure they lease their bandwidth and tower access from Verizon.

What he said. The Gospel truth.
I fulltime and have also found that if you want wifi access anywhere, then Verizon is the one to get. BUT . . .
Since you are needing access only part time, I would do what Darsben1 is suggesting. Take a look at the Straight Talk WiFi options - but only the ones that run on the Verizon system.
I've been using a Straight Talk Iphone running on the Verizon system ($45/month thank you very much) for the last 3 years and am very satisfied with Straight Talk. I need to stress that Straight Talk does not allow tethering from their phones. You will need to get one of their MiFi devices.
I would also suggest getting a signal boosting antenna. I use a Wilson Sleek with their 'home/office' kit, but they have many more options now.
