   Have you looked at the new Mi-Fi from Verizon? I am trying to decide if I can get rid of my dsl and land line and just use the mi-fi and cell phones. I can’t decide if the 5g is a limiting factor for us. We just do web surfing and e-mail, but don’t want to be limited. We are not full-time, obviously, but do like to travel as much as we can and sure miss the internet when we are on the road. I check e-mail on the free wi-fi, but worry about the security for banking on somebody else’s wi-fi. What do you recommend?

   I had just answered a post on RV.net about tethering your cell phone to
   your laptop and had put a link to your page. About 2 minutes later I recieved the link to your new video.
   Thanks,
   Claire

   Brenda,
   Yes! The Mi-Fi looks wonderful – and we’ve heard good reports from actual users. Whether it’s good enough to be your sole connection depends on how good Verizon is at your home. The 5 gigabytes is plenty for browsing and email even for 2 people – just keep an eye on it.
   As or Wi-Fi security for banking – your bank’s website handles that so it is perfectly safe to connect to your bank on public wi-fi hotspots.

   Claire,
   You were the one to first tell me about tethered broadband right?
