    Still using old visible plan with mofi 4500. Avoiding the upgrade because it says you will be limited to one hotspot device. I have multiple devices on the mofi and it’s capped at 5 which is fine with me. Just wondering what to expect after upgrading? Don’t want to replace the mofi yet.

    Aussie Dave in PA again Jim with another update,... I tether my phone to my Laptop to use my Visible Data for Internet & I have to say, your recommendation for the TCL phone in this video is awesome & I chose to start on the new Visible $30 plan,... Dude !... The performance is WAY better than the old Party Pay system :)
    My Ping & Latency is less than half what it was & UA-cam video's not only load very well BUT the data speed keeps up with the video playing in 720P where as on the Party Pay service with my Motorola phone would struggle to play vids in 480P or even 360P at times !
    Of course, being a Subscriber to this awesome channel that needs to go viral, I used your video & recommended app to improve performance & yes, it works with me seeing down speeds well above the "cap" :)

    We live in a remote area with access to one Verizon cell tower that is 4G LTE network. It is my understanding Visible is owned by Verizon and uses its Verizon towers. How will the upgrade work on a 4G LTE network?
    I rely on this connection for remote work and can't risk getting spotty service. On the old Visible plan it worked great. Both my husband and I use our mobile hot spot at the same time. Sounds like on new upgrade they will only allow one?

    It arrived today in 24 hours, easy setup from Party Pay to the new system,... I kicked off with the $30 plan & it seems to perform (so far) on par with the old system.
    At my house, I pull from the busiest tower in my County which is across from the local Walmart & all the stores & restaurants that like to be near Walmart so it's always a bit competitive until about 8pm or so but I have no problems running Social Apps or Netflix & in evenings when the traffic slows a bit, I tether to my PC so my Wife can have all the Broadband for gaming.
