YAYS or NAYS on Straight Talk ZTE 288C LTE Mobile Hotspot
Does this Hotspot run off of Verizon Towers? If you are using, or have used, this hotspot your yays and nays are appreciated.

There is a 6 page thread here: (Woodalls version) LINK
I think this quote from that thread says the most with the fewest words:
I had (and returned) the AT&T version and it did not work reliably because Straight Talk runs these through a proxy in Florida that will only connect to a few web sites.
I understand the Verizon (288) model works but it IS throttled well below LTE speeds.

Skylark,
The Z288L has the red map indicating the Verizon network.
It also has "LTE-V" in the bottom left corner.
The Z289L has the blue map indicating the AT&T network.
These also have "GSM" in the bottom left corner.
