![]() ![]() My throughput is higher than I expected (but still lower than others here have reported), I am quite pleased. Right now, I have placed the device in the pilot house to get the best signal, and I use a cheap wifi extender configured as a bridge to my boat’s core network. Also, I will select the optimum cable for my boat. Hi Dan, I have not yet purchased the antenna as I am still conducting tests with the 8800L in my area (Solomons MD). T-Mobile seems to have some of the best speeds out in my cruising grounds, but Verizon has some of the best coverage, so I’m looking forward to testing both. I intend on using my Peplink onboard router and the WiFi as WAN feature to connect to this hotspot as one of three cellular plans I have on board, the other two being SIMs directly in the Peplink. It does cost more than the ones they have on their site, but I’d rather start with something that will be supported by them longer if I can. More details can be found on RV Mobile Internet at The easiest way to do this is to chat online with Verizon, ask for the 8800L hotspot, and use the prepaid code 28366. This is a newer hotspot with a bunch of features that will be important in the coming year or two. I highly recommend jumping on this opportunity, but I would also recommend getting the brand new 8800L hotspot instead of any they offer online. We’re pretty dependent on our internet so a little insurance, and another carrier, is okay with me. I also always wonder if I’m going to get an email one day telling me I’ve used too much bandwidth or AT&T has decided to stop offering my rate. We routinely throw 100-300gb of usage per month at it and rarely see any issues with speed or service. This $80 per month plan is on AT&T’s network and has stood the test of time for our use. I’m currently using a grandfathered plan from 4g Antenna Solutions. ![]() I’m intrigued enough I ran over to my local Verizon store and picked up the $50 JetPack you see above and a prepaid SIM card to give it a try. Verizon says there are no caps or limits but, they do offer the vague mention of network management to alleviate congestion. ![]() Did a national carrier really do something to make the options available better? I read through the review on the Mobile Internet Resource Center then cruised over to Verizon’s own info and couldn’t find any big gotchas. Every change to plans from the national carriers seems to be taking something away, further perverting the meaning of unlimited, or raising prices.
