Since I have a back to back event coverage here in the US (CES in Las Vegas and NAIAS in Detroit) my initial plan was to subscribe to the Globe-AT&T roaming promo which is $15 a day. I can then load it with any amount which I can use to subscribe to a data plan. I was looking for alternatives that would give me unlimited data but found none so I got the device (a Netgear LTE pocket WiFi) and loaded it with $100. Here's the data plan offered with the device: $15/week - 250MB data $50/month - 5GB data * additional $10 per 1GB in excess of the 5GB While 5GB might not be enough, I thought I could at least use it whenever I am mobile or in transit and just use the hotel WiFi whenever possible. (Yes, it's very strange to be restricted with data caps when in the Philippines, we can enjoy unlimited bandwidth for much lower fees!) The unit is pretty straightforward to use after activating it and subscribing to an AT&T data plan on their website. According to TP-Link, the next generation of Wi-Fi aims to address common frustrations users experience today, including inconsistent room-to-room coverage, unstable mesh roaming, network congestion, and latency spikes during gaming, streaming, and video calls.
