Cheap Hotspot nationwide

[GeorgiePorgie]

Sorry, I am a newbie and can not follow much of the technical talk in the threads that already exist about this. I am really wondering how to have WIFI (MiFI?) everywhere I go, that is reasonably dependable. I want to listen to podcasts and music while driving, use Google maps for GPS directions, be able to search the web and stream Netflix and such at night. Any suggestions?

Check thread on 5 dollar verizon hotspot. It's right there.

I saw it, but can't figure out if it would do the things I want it to do. I get the idea (maybe incorrect) that it is only for very limited use. Also, I guess I find it hard to believe that it would be very worthwhile for that price. :huh:

I can see why you are skeptical.  It sounds too good to be true, but it is true.  I have had one of those hotspots for over a year.  It does stream Netflix, Youtube and anything else you want to do and it really is unlimited.  It may or may not do HD but SD is fine unless you have a really large screen.  

Too many endorsements from the people here too, to be ignored.

Thanks. I really have a hard time understanding many of the technical answers. Yours was perfect. :exclamation:

Georgie,

Fear not. The plan works, and well...

I am able to stream u tubes in SD to our 46 inch hdtv, with some buffering or unrequested pauses...
And that is with two bars, and 5mb download speed.

It works, yes! Does it work as well as 50 mb downloads with xfinity, NO!!!
But very useable!

Will the plan last forever? Who knows?
BUT, it does work, so get it, use it, and enjoy it, while you can... GO FOR IT, GIT ER DUN,
