I am very fortunate, my work provides me with a Verizon hot spot with unlimited data and allows us to use them for personal use (of course I am sure they have access to what I am doing...). We take it with us for camping trips because we often allow our daughter to watch a tv show (internet streaming video) while our boy takes his mid day nap.
Verizon has the best coverage, in my opinion, in the United States. We love our Verizon...
