I took the Mi-Fi back to the guy at Verizon yesterday. It cost me a $35 re-stocking fee. At least I got to try it out. I came very close to keeping it and going totally wireless. The bottom line was DSL out performed it totally. If I had stayed on the road as much as Doc, I would have gone with it. When they get 4G here at my QTH I'll swap over more than likely. In my rural location I'm not sure they provide enough bandwidth for all the users in the area and during the evenings when a lot of users really tax the system, things slow even more. Anyway, we'll check it out again when they get the 4G system going here. Meanwhile I did have them turn on the 3G Mobile HotSpot. I tried it and it seemed to work better then the Mi-Fi. I can turn that on and off and they are suppose to pro-rate the usage for billing. $20/month is not bad. That's less then I pay when having to buy service in some campgrounds.
