My company is changing it's reimbursement policy and I have to get rid of my company supplied wireless card.
So I am looking at either
1. upgrading from my Droid X to a 4g phone and adding hotspot functionality or
2. buying a 4g USB modem and adding the $50 data plan to my account
My question is in theory, would their be a difference in the quality of the service?
Do USB modems tend to get better signals than phone? What about the data transfer between the two?
I've never used tethering. I don't do any gaming. I am on an unlimited data plan so if I just upgrade phone, I can at least keep that. But I also think 5gb would be more than enough.
Either option is close enough to my monthly expense limit so that is not a factor.
The biggest advantage of using a modem would be I could let me wife use it on our laptop when I am not around.
Can you use VZ Access Manager with tethering?
Thank you.
