If and when you do get a decent 4G connection, you'll like it a lot. We were on Long Island Sound with the trawler in the summer of 2011. 4G was just beginning to roll out in many places and service was very spotty in some areas, even close to NYC.

This being the case, from what I have seen so far, Verison is the service most racers I know use. I have a VM cell, which is great but never get any service, and we have the sprint mobile connector for internet, which is the one I was addressing earlier. At Unidilla, it was useless... It comes from the same damned place! Same tower! Bull****. In some cases they may share towers, but for the most part Verizon and Sprint maintain separate towers. Where do you come up with this stuff? The guy is a ****ing asshole, that's where. I couldn't get out all weekend at all, never got even one bar with my VM phone, coverage was in and out all weekend at Sprint, mostly, say 90% of the time, no signal. Folks who had Verison, and curiously enough, TracPhone, had perfect coverage all weekend long... That is the fact. Jess and I didn't get any bars for 18 miles in one direction over the weekend looking for gas and ice, and on the way in and out (from the other direction) 12 miles till we could make a call with VM... |

That's because TracPhone uses Verizon's (and other) networks to supply their coverage. They don't have their own network. They buy time from the major players. |

Yup, couldn't talk to my wife for four days except when sprint managed to sneak out an email, once every few hours... The guy I rode up to the concession pulled out his 19 dollar tracphone and had 4 bars!!! LOL! |
