One gripe: its soft-touch buttons-there’s no touchscreen-often didn’t register a press. And the 6620L shares power via a USB port to charge other devices from its 4,000-mAh battery. The 16 hours and 8 minutes of LTE sharing we saw didn’t meet Verizon’s advertised 20-hour battery life but was still great. Devices connected without a hitch and then stayed online. The Jetpack supports 15 devices over either 2.4 or 5GHz Wi-Fi and allows USB tethering. If you already have a phone and 2 GB of data, adding the Jetpack and another 4 GB puts another $50 on your bill adding the hotspot and 8 GB increases your total by $80. A hotspot by itself with 4 GB of data will cost $50 a month. You’ll need to put the Jetpack on a More Everything plan, with or without a Verizon phone, where pay $20 for the hotspot’s monthly “line access” fee then buy data as needed. That being said, yes every Canadian telecom operator is utter filth and we desperately need to open up to MVNOs and foreign players without restrictions if we want to see any relief.The Verizon Jetpack 6620L-$50 on a two-year contract, $200 full price-offers long battery life, fast performance, and exceptional coverage.

We’re bound to show up in some network report somewhere on AT&T’s end. It’s only a matter of time.Īnother way this thing is gonna shut down pronto is if some shortsighted tools abuse the hell out of this plan or someone takes this to the media.Īssume this is a very temporary solution to your data needs.

I’m sure restrictions are forthcoming considering the amount of Canadians that have signed up. Plus, they already have presence in Mexico, so the only real cost to them is Canada, which I’m sure they had originally estimated to be mice nuts in terms of roaming costs. While it’s true that Canadians are getting hosed by Telco Crime Canada & Associates., there’s a second part - AT&T is one of the few carriers globally with massive negotiating power. This proves what a crock of sh*t the long list of excuses big telcos cite when defending their pricing is. Truly sad when a US provider can offer cheaper plans for roaming internationally with Rogers, than what Rogers charges domestically.
