we have the Virgin MIFI purchased at Wal Mart. I believe they are owned by Sprint but know they use the Srpint towers. We have the 3g plan and pay month to month with no contract. So far it has worked really well. We are way out in the middle of no where is South Texas and get a decent signal with our cell booster on.

I just use a cradlepoint CTR 35 and a Millenicom usb device. Everything can use it, has a charger for the truck so we can use it there and we use it at the stick house. We pay monthly, but there's no contract so you can cancel and start any time 20g for $60. It uses Verizon's network. Only 3g, but almost everywhere we go, including the stick house, only has 3g coverage.

We're using a Verizon USB Modem Air Card with a CradlePoint Router, 2 laptops and wireless printer. Been a few places where there was no service, but for the most part we good to go (we're had it long enough that we're Grandfathered in with Unlimited, so we're staying with 3G until 4G has more coverage)

We use the Millenicom usb device with 20 Gig for $60/ mo. and Cradelpoint 1000. Not junk fees or taxes, and no contract to sign. It is on the Verizon network.
Had about 2 years and very satisfied with it and no overage charges.

Does anyone have T-Mobile? I have been looking into getting a MIFI and doing a pay as you go plan. T-Mobile's prices are bout the same as others but when you go over you limit instead of cutting you off they just reduce your speed. I think it said it just get reduced from 4g to 2g till the next month. Most of the others have eliminated unlimited service.

Use Verizon MIFI. Connects to 10 devices. We have two lap tops, printer, and two nooks so far.
