I have been using the Verizon USB 720 cell modem plugged into a Cradlepoint
CTR 350 for maybe 3 years now. Very, very rare when I can't get a data
connection. The Cradlepoint and USB720 have been reliable, and mostly they
are on 24/7.
A friend has the Verizon MiFi that she uses with her MacBook. I was
impressed with it.
Have you checked out the new VirginMobile MiFi? No contract, no gigabyte
limits, $40/month and you can start and stop the service at will with no
fees. I don't have one, but that is what I have read. It is 3G only, which
is not a problem as 4G is not yet widely deployed.
Our sister group may have some good info. They are located here:

I was referred to this group to try and get some info on the 2 items in
the
Subject. We are workampers in our RV. We currently use a Verizon UM 150
USB
modem and the wifi where we are currently working to connect our 2
laptops. Not
great but ok service. We will be going to Idaho next summer and I want to
be
prepared for weak service. I am eligible for a free modem upgrade with
Verizon
at this time. I have done research on the net and talked with other
RVer's and
it has come down to the Cradlepoint MBR 1000 with a Wilson Sleek Cell
Phone
Booster for MiFi using our current USB modem versus the Verizon MiFi 2200.
Don't know which way to go.
All help, guidance and info will be greatly appreciated.
