Best month to month 4g usb internet solution?

[RollWave]

I'm going to be spending months working in Biloxi, MS and I will be housed in a govt building with no internet access. I need to get a 4g USB thing while I'm there. Any recommendations?

Right now I'm looking at T Mobile but I have no idea what I should do with this horrible situation. I think I'm going to go crazy.

I'd get a hotspot if I were you. That way you can hook up any device with a wifi connection instead of just a laptop. If you have a phone, you could always just share the connection off your phone too. That's what I do, just turn on the mobile hotspot on my phone and connect my laptop or tablet to it.

Assuming T-Mobile has good coverage in that area, I would check out this Walmart deal. It's a huge ass thread search for keywords such as MF61

Buy T-Mobile hotspot at Walmart B&M.
Buy 3.5GB refill card which is good for 2 months.

I used the clear 4G usb for a couple months. It wasn't exactly 4G speeds. I was getting about 3 down and 1.5 up. It was solid though. I pings were between 40-75. I wouldn't recommend for gaming, but it was pretty good for YouTube and every day stuff. $50 for unlimited was nice.

Unfortunately clear is blocked in my area? no longer selling subscriptions

I have clear. It really comes down to the time of day. 6-7pm on a work night might get 3-4Mb down, but other times I can get over 10 Mb. My pings are also more like 50 ms.

It really comes down to where your towers are. I'm in Boston and have three around me at home.

If they're not selling subscriptions in your area, but still have service, just give them a different billing address. You can move your device anywhere in the country.

None of the states that I have family are selling subscriptions. Agh!

If you only need it for a few months, I don't know why you would want 1y or 2y contract. You can just pay month to month if you buy your own device.

If you're really interested, I would see if you can give them your current billing address, but say that you travel to large cities every week and don't want to pay hotel internet fees.

I have that deal on my Nexus 4. Download speeds are just as good as when I had Verizon LTE (best on Verizon is ~20mpbs, and T-Mobile ~14mbps, about 50-80 ping each network).
Made me realize buzzwords like 4G and LTE really doesn't mean crap when you have a good network.

Is the mobile forum down?

My AT&T iPhone 5 got almost 60mbps over LTE in Atlanta.

My home Internet is only 30mbps.
