- Novatel 4620L - Joined in August 2012 -Connection can stay steady for hours at a time - Subpar signal on 4G but get lucky to get over 2 bars (highest RSSI is 42% which equals 2 bars) - Youtube usage has to be low but works fine - 5Gigs is too low for 72 $ a month - Ping times are average to good (depends on network, read speed tests Ev-Do vs LTE - YAY no more DIALUP!!!!!!!!!! OVERALL: B- Update 9-30 - No connection issues, feels fast still (not EXTREMELY fast, but more like quick) - almost no late day latency issues - no changes to ratings I searched google for locking the 4620L on LTE and it is not possible. But if this can hold up, I can brag about actual broadband to the most rural county in central Virginia, Caroline. Latest bill that we went over cap was 90 dollars but was only a one time thing and am not adding that to the monthly cost info above.

Update 1/3/13 - It will always connect to LTE if in window (5 ft from computer), but the caps are now a problem due to fast speeds (faster speed=faster to the cap) -Latency is now not a issue at all 4GLTE Speedtests »speedtest.net/result/241 ··· 6080.png »speedtest.net/result/241 ··· 0944.png Update 1/22/13 Questions? What other Options did you consider for broadband? We already knew Hughes is a worthless piece of trash but Wildblue was close to being our next provider until we all read the reviews. What SPEED/package did you order, at what monthly cost? We bought a LTE modem with 5GB of data which cost 59 dollars a month. How was the order & install process? My aunt bought the modem and wifi stick from our local verizon store, just had to bring it home turn on and connect. What brand/model was the supplied equipment? The mifi device was a Novatel 4620L with LTE support. What good or bad experiences most struck you? ummmmmmmmmmm....... coverage and mobility, VA is a well covered state (Tmobile is horrid 2G, ATT is covered, Verizon is LTE, and Sprint is decent) Update 2/24/13 -Now i can lock the connection to whatever i want, the only flaw is the low 5gb cap Update 4/14/13 -still good but new firmware does not check data usage for some reason member for 11.6 years, 98 visits, last login: 10.5 years ago updated 11 years ago
