    Verizon HomeFusion Wireless Internet

    Surprisingly, I have 2 bar signal strength for the Verizon 4G network down in our apple orchard. Verizon recently turned on 4G on the cell tower up on Burnside Rd. With my 4G iPhone 5, I'm seeing at least 5 MBPS download. I actually tethered my iPhone to my laptop and watched an hour long show via Netflix without any buffering. I blew through my 2Gig data allowance in the first 10 days; ..now considering the Verizon HomeFusion service as Comcast/Sonic are currently not available. https://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...ion/hf/main.do

    Anyone in this area installed a Verizon cantenna for internet service? I'm on the fence about signing up because of the data caps and the mostly negative reviews I've seen on the web.

    Plan B is satellite service: https://www.exede.com/ - $10/Month cheaper for the same bandwidth, but with high latency.

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Tony, would love to know what you decided. I need to set up some sort of cable-less service. Was looking at Verizon's mobile hotspots, too.
