Anyone bring their own hotspots to work ? What kind are you using and how’s your coverage. East coast areas mainly mid Atlantic to northeast?  
Thanks

Before I switched to Verizon and now tether, I had a hot spot from Boost Mobil. I got 10 GB of data for $50 and it worked on Sprint towers. I rarely had a problem in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic or Gulf Ports.

FYI - You can also get much better coverage if you purchase the right cell phone booster for your hotspot and can figure out a decent way to mount the external antenna. [http://amzn.to/2hKHpqp](http://amzn.to/2hKHpqp)
