JD, I havent used any of the services you mentioned, but when traveling in my RV I use Virgin Mobile Broadband, it has a USB Broadband Airport Card "thingy" that plugs in my laptop USB port and its what actually calls a number and I get what I consider cell phone service internet. The rate is $40 per month UNLIMITED buttttttttt after you excedd 5 GB (I never do and I use it a lot) they purposely slowwwwwwwww it down to discourage you.

HOWEVER its just for one computer its NOT a MiFi which does pretty much the same thing but then you can feed 5 like devices from it (cell phones, laptops etc)

In weak signal areas I have a cell phone repeater amplifier with an antenna on top my RV then a small re transmitting antenna inside the RV and it amplifies the Virgin Broadband or my cell.

So far between Indiana and Florida and anywhere the Virgin USB Broadband service calls and receives a signal so my laptop works, its just in weak signal areas my internet is slow

I bought the Virgin USB Broadband device new on Flea Bay for about 1/2 price Virgin or Sprint Store wanted for them, plug it in, it calls, I purchase service $40 per month online GOOD TO GO

HOWEVER why couldnt, once your computer has that signal, you run a router transmitter out of that one laptop so other computers with regular wireless cards also work???????

PS the Broadband USB card I bought also has a plug for its own external antenna (had to buy it seperately on e bay) for use in weak signal areas
