Howdy folks,

I'm looking to get a mobile hostpot device to use with my laptop and other data hungry devices that require wifi. The primary use will be on board Metra trains on my commute to/from work to downtown Chicago every day (Milwaukee North line mostly).

Have you had any +ve/-ve experiences that you could share? any recommendations on which carrier to go with and maybe even which devices to use? Will this work better than a phone hotspot/tether?

Thank you.

(I currently use T-Mobile hotspot on my personal phone and Verizon on my Blackberry and both are unreliable).
