I've had Sprint usb mobile broadband equipment since 2004. That said I am grandfathered in at 'unlimited data" Full timing for 6 years and have had internet access everywhere and have never had to worry about being shut off because of usage.
Wow, lucky you .... that unlimited plan is worth it's weight in gold.
Now ... if only your speeds were 5GB/s or faster with that unlimited data so that you could stream Netflix movies at high definition anywhere you could get cell tower reception when out with the RV.
Our home setup is unlimited at just over 5GB/s download speeds and the HD movie streaming sure is nice! I wish we could duplicate that in our RV. :(
We use a Verizon Jetpack in our RV. It's 4G speeds are fast enough for video streaming, but Verizon data plans (that we can afford) are too stingy to permit much movie streaming on RV trips ... which I love to do in the evenings, especially if the evening weather is too nasty to sit outside.
I hope the general "data limit" pricing situation changes soon for U.S. mobile broadband customers. We're in general getting ripped off on mobile broadband compared to the rest of the world, but fortunately some of the powers-that-be are beginning to take notice.
