Wireless Hotspots

[Dsparil]

Has anyone tried the new Verizon LTE hotspot? What's the average download speed for it?

My dad's wife had one. Im gonna guess 2-3 Mbps in a non-LTE area. The data cap sucks for what you're paying a month. Im sure its the same speed as your smartphone. Download speedtest app and take reading at different times and locations and Im gonna bet thats what the hotspot will do.

I use one every day and travel all over Texas with it.

It works awesome in North Texas, West Texas, Central and South Texas but not so much in East Texas (Piney Woods area).

Speeds vary by location but I am very satisfied with it after using a AT&T device for years.

I've got the 10G plan and very rarely exceed the plan.

It is really good when i opened CNN.com loading took 9.2 seconds and it is pretty fast and the battery life is also good and

Why would anyone get this when you can get 30-50 mbs tethering your phone?

Not everyone can tether, most cell companies require you to pay extra to tether. Most people haven't a clue in regards to jailbreaking or rooting and the finer intricacies custom roms

Verizon's new dataplans include it as part of the plan.

I prefer to have the hotspot and phone separate. When you run your phone in tethering mode it suck your battery life fast.

I usually plug it into my laptop to let it charge it.

I like having the devices separate in case one stops working for whatever reason.

Wish they would roll out 4g here. Damn you companies only giving big cities the good stuff.

Verizon's LTE roll out will be complete by the end of this year - covering 100% of it's 3G foot print

VZW, pre-data plan (grandfathered) with fox-fi. just sayin.....

I have a Verizon 4G LTE hotspot that I use daily to connect my laptop to the office. Works great and has really good speed... but I don't know what the actual speed is. No complaints with it.

 

[Rangerscott]

Im probably gonna drop them. $116 a month is just too damn much. I know tmobil is spotty but $50 unlimited evrything u just cant beat it.
