Sonny, Maybe this info will help. I recently purchased this Jet Pack for a pop up shop in Boston. As we also had no internet options, it was really the only way to go. The jet pack was to operate an IPAD pos system (Shopify), link up to Spotify for store music, and additionally run a SimplySafe alarm system equipped with (1) surveillance camera. The device is on our VZW UNlimited business plan, and for $20 bucks a month you can't beat the price. The device works great, signal never seems to fail or drop, HOWEVER........ I found within the first two months that the SimpliSafe camera when used too often for live streaming the video OR if it is set to record for too long a period (when sensors go off, upon door entry, alarm disarmed etc) and the Spotify for music CHEW THROUGH data like crazy. And while the plan is "unlimited data", after 15GB you are throttled down to speeds of 600kbps and lower per plan agreement. I was finding the usage reaching 15GB by halfway through the 30 day period, thus rendering the security camera unable to live stream without cutting out constantly. I explored a different plan option, which for Verizon is purchasing 10, 20, 50 GB etc per month. Those prices get up in the the several hundreds per month range. Quick summary, great device that does its job. Until you run devices (audio and video streaming) that consume heavy data. I find now once or twice a day quick checks on the security cam, adjusting auto record lengths on the cam, and downloading playlists directly to the ipad vs. live streaming Spotify have brought usage down to 10-15GB per month. Hope this helps!
