As of now, looks like all Verizon based prepaid resellers have a 200GB limit on high speed data

Including Visible?

You've been busy :) Yes, there's a HUGE amount of high quality information here. I apologize for my 100 followups, I am really doing my best to take everything in and promise my followups will taper down over time as I understand things better. Trying to find your tower isnt real hard, but it takes...

looking into the end of the connector

Not all pictures have that angle but for those that do, the antenna side is male and the chassis is female.

Amazon will ship it to me tomorrow.

Thank you. I guess having the prepaid $35 iPad SIM continue to be plugged into the iPad Pro and keeping data usage under 20GB until I figure out better plans is going to be my lucky ticket then.

Is there a way to actually test this on my teltik/TMo plan?

I can check my on device data user using the 932 USSD but I don't know of a way to monitor my hostpot data usage

Same here. Do we create a thread here or somewhere else?

So in a nut shell I have been with Verizon forever . Have the best plan possible for unlimited data (old school plan that can't be throttled back at all . Well not supposed to ) I have had the same thing and now same phone for years. Within the last 6 weeks my internet speed has been like dial up q...

I am interested in a directional antenna but I feel I should figure out the orientation of my local towers before I go ahead with a purchase.

I personally would have a hard time ordering an 4G LTE Antenna for hundreds of dollars hoping it would work without trying to lock down the position of the tower and figuring out if it would be worth it. What if it ended up that it would not because the tower is just in a poor position? No antenna c...

Sure, but if you look at the pictures for the modem/enclosure that danielewood posted, the connectors are RP-SMA type connectors.

I ordered one from Amazon that looks like that one and it should arrive Monday.

4evernetless, did you ever pursue the Visible route?

I run on Tmobile based SimpleMobile, and I've been using around 300gigs per month for the past 5 years without any issues. They are pretty lax when it comes to data usage, on the other hand they will disconnect your service completely if you go over 24gigs in a single day (that's a gig per hour) in...

What sort of data caps are we actually looking at? Could I rack up 5+ terabytes a month? I know the data is deprioritized, but am I going to be throttled or banned off of their network? If you have some neighbors (I have 20 in a 2 mile radius) who are on T-Mobile, they might get upset if they too d...

Bill,

I'm trying to understand the logic of a 117 TTL.

I understand why the 65 TTL exists for an Android driven stack but why would Page Plus choose a a 117 TTL?

1. After taxes and fees, how much does the $20 iPad plan come to?
2. First month it's $50+ (for the $30 activation)?
3. Can anyone without any prior ATT relationship/phone lines, go to the store and get this plan?

If the speedtest.net always runs way faster than the fast.com this means your issue is HD streaming abilities. gscheb, this is interesting. So is Tmobile throttling outgoing connections to a block of IPs that are known to belong to Netflix? Does Netflix run their own datacenter to be fingerprinted ...

Would really appreciate some details about the 400GB wholesale plan, specially who on ebay are selling it. Have been using TMobile until early July.

Maybe they don't care considering they sell ISP plan for only $50 per month. Just like the AT&T plan it is all good till it isn't. The Tmobile $50 per month "home ISP" plan wasn't available everywhere to begin with. We bothered them almost a year ago enough, for them to offer it and l...

Unfortunately, post merger, Tmobile is going the way of ATT, so it seems like a Verizon MVNO will be the go to for us rural folks. Look at my latest posting for my personal experience.

Bill, Thank you for compiling this information ATT tablet/iPad plan $35/mo, 30Mbps speeds, 50ms latency, deprioritized after 30GB, has been discontinued. Isn it deprioritized after 22GB? I get emails after consuming 22GB. Tmobile unlimited prepaid $60/mo, 100Mbps speeds, 40ms latency, deprioritized ...

Once Tmobile allows its customers to use the existing Sprint towers for better coverage and more bandwidth for higher speeds (should be soon), that will make it a top notch service for a lot less than the other carriers can offer. Bill, one would hope Tmobile would have gone in the helpful directio...

1. I know Tmobile has the TTL approach to detecting tethering - does PagePlus or Verizon do similar things?
2. Is the LTE data quality between PagePlus and Visible the same or one is a bit better than the other?

Hello, Don't use visible currently but have Verizon post pay plan for cell phone the lowest tier available which is always data managed. In one town will literally get less than 1 down. Then drive down the road 20 minutes and it will just up to 40-70 down. Does seem some towers on Verizon act diffe...

Apologies if this should instead be a new thread, but how can we be sure that those two antenna on the LTE modem are actually LTE and not WiFi antenna?
