| [General] Internet Access alternatives via Cell Network? We are looking to buy a house that has NO broadband access - no DSL, no Cable, no FiOS. However, it does have a solid 5 bars of Verizon 3G data. I tried using my iPhone as a personal hotspot and it worked tolerably well, however I am wondering if there is any equipment that might give me a more efficient connection to my PC.
Any ideas? I do not necessarily need to share the connection with other devices in the house, but it might be nice.
thanks |

What the above guys said. if signal str is great then an antenna/amp very likely won't be needed either.. Just a good location in the house... Can't beat Millenicom on service which as mentioned is through verizon, they are a reseller. |

Thanks all! I did email Jim and he was a great source of help and info. He confirmed that millenicom (purchase the modem, 20GB cap) on the Verizon network would be the best way to go.
Being between the Albany and Glen Falls, NY 4G sites perhaps I'll get 4G within the next year or 2!
Appreciate the fast, friendly advice on this site.
