Just keep in mind that the FMCA “unlimited” plan is highly limited! It is unlimited right up to 25GB/month which does not take long if you are streaming HD (even more if it’s 4K) to reach that limit. When you do hit 25GB the MiFi is “hard throttled” to dial up speeds.

[Roger]

I closed my account with them due to the amount of throttling they did when I reached the 25 gb.

It was absolutely uses less from then on, went with ATT, where I was they never throttled me back.

Even though Verizon was half the price it only worked half the time.

The 25GB plan is well described “if you do enough reading” on the FMCA site. I don’t think they actively worked at hiding this information, they simply don’t make any special effort to disclose it.

They do say this:

“*Throughput of data speeds will be limited should 25GB of data be used within a given bill cycle“

If you go to the FAQ section they say:
“There is no data limit within a given billing cycle. However, you will see decreased speeds upon 25GB of usage in a given billing cycle. Slowdown speeds will range between 70 kbps – 2.7 mbps. Normal 4G LTE speeds will resume at the beginning of the new billing cycle.

70K? Seriously? Even 1MB or 2MB is pretty much useless for anything other than e-mail and basic surfing. Those are download speeds. Upload speeds are generally substantially slower.

[Bill]

Verizon shut us down last night after reaching 25gb. Useless, you are all correct.

[Andy]

You should not be “shut down” but you should be so slow as to be completely unusable. That’s the way the FMCA Verizon plan is setup. Service should return to normal at the end of your current 30 day cycle.

Here’s a new service that may be the answer to mobile internet access. Please note that I have not yet tested this system, so here’s a review from a notable source:

I get 100g on my mobile AT&T for 60 bucks.

I get “truly” unlimited 4G data from AT&T for $20/month (plus a few bucks in taxes). However, it’s a plan that takes some hoop jumping to get today. It takes a Mobley device and the “connected car” service but it’s still available if you have the time it takes to work your way around all the folks who have no idea such a plan exists. I was lucky to pick it up a year or so back when one call to the right number activated the device.

There have been MANY services promising most anything. I have lost hundreds of dollars being the first adopter and finding the company is out of business in 3-6 months. I am not sure what this service is or will be in the future but I can tell you that very few (none that I am aware of other than the AT&T Mobley) have actually survived as truly unlimited. Once they add “network optimization” or 4G/3G/2G reductions at some limit (usually 25G) the word unlimited becomes highly limited.

We use an Apple TV and haven’t turned on the Directv for almost a year now. We have what Bill is talking about AT&T’s MIFI with an unlimited plan for I believe $25 a month, the only catch to getting this you have to have had their unlimited plan on you phones for a number of years, its an older plan. And as Bill said most of the employees know nothing about it, but they can check your service plan and tell if you have the old plan and then hook you up, with no throttling so far.

[Doug]

I don’t have any service from AT&T other than the Mobley!
