On The Road Internet

Yeah, the cell carriers are the way to go because wi-fi from the truck stops has such limited coverage and publicly-available wi-fi is spotty at best.

As you can see from the comments above, you pretty much get what you pay for. Verizon has the most comprehensive coverage nationwide and it's the most expensive. AT&T is second in both areas. Then it goes down from there. In the end you're going to pay for the coverage you want.

And the coverage areas are not my opinion. Those are facts put out by the telecom industry.

I now have T Mobile. I have no complaints. I have unlimited Internet and roaming and text for two lines and pay 110$. The Internet isn't always very good.

With T Mobile internet, Is it usually fast enough to be able to watch movie streaming (Netflix) or youtube?

When you say two lines, do you mean phone and laptop?

Its usually not fast enough to watch a movie. Its 4G (fast enough for a movie) when I'm in a major city. Its usually pretty slow otherwise but I only really use it for TT and thankfully this site takes very little internet to load.

By two lines I mean I have a line with unlimited internet, text, talk, free roaming and my wife has a line with unlimited internet, text, talk, and free roaming.

If internet is not very important to you then I think T-Mobile is good. But if you like to do more than load a forum page then it would be too slow for you.

Is Wifi at truck stops fast enough for streaming video/movies?

I highly doubt it. I've never tried it so I'm sure others will be able to chime in. But usually the truck stops have pretty slow internet and some will limit the amount of data you can send/receive.

Only in the early morning or middle of the night. Basically when nobody else is using it. I never buy the wifi anymore, its such a waste of money.

So do truckers not stream video? or if they do, how?

Pretty much no. Your best shot at watching a movie is to watch one in a truck stop that has a theatre.

What I do is download like 20 movies while I'm on my hometime and have them on my laptop. I watch them during the time I'm on the road. This is your best bet and its free.

How do drivers usually use Internet while on the road? What is the usual cost? Thanks

I use my Verizon smartphone as a hotspot. Works great. Just be sure to monitor your data and don't exceed your plan.

My experience is Verizon works the most places around the country. Of course, I'll probably get yelled at for saying that.
