Id be wary of that virgin deal, especially here. Many times when a smaller company is buying bandwidth from a larger companies cell towers, theyre put on a lower priority level than the larger companies own customers. Hence more disconnects and lower throughput on cell towers that are loaded. I hear this is one of mobis issues right now.
And if i understand correctly theyre buying bandwidth from sprint as well.
Ive had sat net (from spacenet/starband) in the past. Its expensive, and the modems are buggy, and the techs are rude and generally uninformed. Im going to give it a shot again here soon, since theyre trying to fix many of these issues (i hear there is a software fix they can upload to my modem which will help with the pages being displayed incorrectly bug i was having). LTE is supposed to be network wide by 2013 on verizon, so ill moore than likely have a good connection within 3 years. Thats still a long time, and hopefully the cap wont be too restrictive. 5gb a month is crazy low.
