Your right Jonathan, I could but how is the speed with the iPhone vs a Mi-Fi? About the same?
If you remember (why would you) the AT&T ran circles around the Verizon in this area where they have the 4LTE, but out in the wilderness Verizon is good, the speed from Borden was about what I got from the AT&T in our area....the iPhone pull in speeds like this? One great thing about the Verizon version, it has an external antenna that has allowed me to get data from the Spring Mill Park in Mitchell Indiana when no iPhone, be it Verizon or AT&T will work, neither will either Mi-Fi unit until I put the antenna on top of the car and BAM, i have good signal strength and I am in business.... My work is such that I will do all possible to have data....I have thought about getting one of those TV trucks with the upLink and reversing so I could pull in what I needed....well, just supposing....can't convince the wife to ride around in one of those things...
