Below is what I getting a 1:00 in the afternoon and it shows 2 bars 4G LTE on the jetpack screen It is 70 bucks a month with 5.00 discount for prepay so I paying 65 bucks. I just paid for the one month in advance so I don't know what tax and etc Verizon will tack on since I haven't got my first months bill yet. Like I said above it's a month to month contract so if goes south i can cancel. I did get the 200.00 Jetpack and over Xmas have a 30-day return policy so I giving a good work out at home. I hope it works long term.

We are in the process of trying to upgrade to a better Verizon plan that can produce a quality hotspot. Anyone out there with updates on this plan ???

So far so good but we have not traveled with it. We have used about 140 GB streaming video now during one billing period and so far it has buffered once. We get about 50 to 60 MBps during the day and 25 to 30 between 6 pm and 10 pm. I just saw a report that someone had slowdowns using it in the evening in Tucson AZ because of the network management and I will be there in March so I will find out first hand. I have also seen a lot of positive reports also. The best part is that's a month to month contract on the service but you will have to pay for the Jetpack which mine was 199.99.

This conversation isn't that old, Gordo - what kind of updates are you looking for? To date, we have used the new prepaid plan (with unlimited data on the MiFi) in Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and now the inner banks in North Carolina. We've streamed from Amazon Prime, Netflix, and other sites without any problems or buffering. We've had good coverage wherever we've been and no evidence of slow-downs.

A little different twist, I just signed up for unlimited data with onstar on my 2017 silverado for a planned trip starting this tuesday to CA to visit my dad. I am going to be boone docking, camping at a friends ranch in the town of Sonoma. So, the question is how do I use my wifi to stream netflix, etc. Does the truck have to be running or can it be in acc?

I do this all the time. Acc is all you need. FYI the truck will not make it all night if you leave the key on cause you don't want to get up and turn it off at night I carry a small trickle charger to help. The other limitation is the WIFI range. If I'm parked at the front of the RV I can't get a good enough signal at the family room TV. The master TV and the one in the front compartment work fine though. The closer you can get the better.

so i wanted to know if everything can be connected such as phones, tablets tv's etc to this hotspot? i am very interested in getting one, but not sure entirely, if everything can be connected? wife is going to switch to verizon so we are on the same network but want to make sure if she goes camping she can take this with her and the kids and they can be connected as well as herself?
thanks
