Verizon Wireless USB760 Modem
I chose this device and service as a solution because I live in a rural area where DSL and Cable internet access are not available. I am taking online college courses and having a reliable and fast internet connection is a must. I get great signal strength with Verizon. The speed of the internet connection is comparable to 1.5mb DSL service. I usually get a throughput of 1mb.
The modem comes with some storage space so that it can be used as a USB flash drive. All of the software you need to get connected, like drivers and a connection manager are on the modem itself and installs automatically the first time you plug in the device. There is also a MicroSD slot for adding additional storage. This works great for me when I am on the go and have to take my online projects with me. I can just store them on the modem itself so I know I will have them with me wherever I go.
In the past I would have to drive to town and find a Wi-Fi hotspot to access the internet. Now I can access the internet from anywhere a Verizon phone can make a call. Other Carriers like ATT offer similar devices. It just turned out that in my area Verizon works better. From my experience, Verizon does have a larger coverage map. Unfortunately, one dead spot is at my in-law's house a few hours away but when we visit them we use their home Wi-Fi network.
One other small drawback is that I am limited to the amount of data I can send and receive in a certain time period. The limit is 5 gigabytes per month but I have yet to reach this amount so it is really not a big problem for me.
It is pretty neat to ride around town and surf the internet at the same time. This makes missing emails, online classes or Facebook posts a thing of the past
