Am going to be roaming around Europe with a concert tour and am wondering who would provide the best coverage (for a mobile data card)?

In most cases, I'll have wifi/ethernet connections, but in the event that they fail, I'll need a REALLY reliable backup. My data connection will be extremely time sensitive, so it's gotta work well.

I know that I can get these data plans through US service providers like AT&T/Verizon, etc. They are hideously expensive, but cost isn't too much of a concern. Reliability is more important.

Anyone have experience with this? Can you recommend a service provider that would be better than others?

Appreciate the help!
 
I would go for Vodafone and get one of their bundles. You really only pay when you use it, and it's good in most European countries.
 
Looked into that and seems like a great solution. Thanks for that.

I agree. It pains me to say it but vodafone has the best 3g and 3.5g coverage in europe altho O2 is catching up the signal for vodafone is normally better
