Still have Verizon and AT&T Unlimited

I have a family plan on AT&T with two phones for my wife and I, both with unlimited data. The throttling at 5GB doesn't bother either of us as we rarely go over, but I'd rather just get throttled than have to pay overages.

I have the Verizon unlimited data plan for when I travel. There's one place I go where the only Internet connection I can get is over DSL and the download speed is around 2M (upload is around 500K). My AT&T phone doesn't get a good signal so the data speed is very slow, and aside from that you can't get tethering on the unlimited data plan. I get a very strong Verizon LTE signal and usually get a 20M/12M connection. I put my SIM in a 4620L or Netgear 1515 and use that for accessing the Internet from my laptop, tablet, and AT&T phone. Each week I'm there I use just over 30GB. With the Verizon prepaid data plans 10GB of data is $90, so keeping the monthly plan at just over $80 (with my discount) makes a lot of sense.
