We live in a rural area, and used to have satellite Internet (which was terrible). When Verizon LTE got here, we got a Pantech UML290 LTE modem, and it has been excellent. I just got 24.32 Mbps down, 6.38 Mbps up on Speedtest.net, and the latency is excellent for interactive use like web browsing. It's also been reliable in bad weather. The downsides are the cost, and the fact that we're on a limited plan. Our total bill is about $215/month for two iPhones and the LTE modem on a shared 14 GB data plan (with unlimited voice and texting on the phones). The data cap means we can't stream Netflix, do online backups, etc. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
