To everybody,
I trust you all know this but here it is anyway. If you went with the, hopefully still FREE, Pantech UML295 XLTE enabled modem you could plug it directly into your USB port on your PC and get the HIGHER speed data connection. You do NOT need a router like I have although you would have an additional $20 per month line fee for the modem.
BTW, last year I checked on how much DATA I was using on my "unlimited data" plan and discovered that I was only using between 1 to 4 Gb per month so I changed to Verizon's "more everything" plan and now I have more than enough data and gained unlimited calling and unlimited messages for $4.00 less per month.
Here is an interesting story. Yesterday I downloaded a 300 page PDF camera manual. As usual with windows explorer the blue line that goes from the left to the right across the screen to show the download completion started its movement from left to right. Then when it reached almost 25% of the way across the screen it just disappeared as if I canceled the download BUT the cover page of the manual appeared. Upon checking I found that the manual was there totally downloaded (6.5 mb). It only took 4-5 seconds. It amazed me so much that I did it again.
So as George Peppard on the "A Team" used to say, "I love when a plan comes together."

PS, Verizon can look up your data use for the last couple of years. Today, with the new modem, I am getting 21mb DOWN and 10mb UP during the most busy time of time day.
