Best Verizon MVNO and using one now
Posted: Mon May 03, 2021 9:28 pm
Hi all,
I have been traveling lately and carrying my modem/router with me. I am using US Mobile's Super LTE which is on Verizon with an EM12G and Linksys WRT1200AC (OpenWRT). One day, I accidentally unplugged the power cord, and somehow all the router settings got erased (my TTL, QoS, SSID, etc). That never happened before! Luckily, I brought an ethernet cable and returned most of the settings to normal (I forgot what TTL I used, but tried 65). Unfortunately, I might have triggered something on US Mobile's end and was immediately throttled when I was fully powered on. I called them, and they said I was using excessive hotspotting and they could not (more like WOULD NOT) do anything. I have had my router/modem plugged in for a few months now with no issues at home.
The only reason I need verizon is because at home Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T all are marginal quality at best even with my Poynting MIMO antenna.
Can one of you guys recommend the best settings for my modem to avoid hotspot please? I cannot tell if I'm on hotspot since the app doesn't segregate data usage. I am using MBIM and turned auto select off, and roaming off using AT commands. I am also open to another MVNO, but would like to stay in the $20-30 range (I can bring over 2 other lines as well).
