I look at data I can use off the phone so 600 Kbs is 3G speed and you have a total of 2 x 20 Gb data on the "unlimited" plan so; 40 Gb of 3G speed data.
Don't you need to put a SIM in the Winegard Connect 2? That would require another "line" and it's own data for that line since the two Iphones are on their own data plans (not a shared data plan) so that's another $45 a month for another 20 Gb of data; but you do get streaming at 720P for that plan.

Thanks. I'm still digging into it. The phones are under 45.00 per month if purchased before January. The Winegard requires a SIM regardless of the service and Verizon no longer offers an unlimited plan for the Winegard and AT&Ts is ending at the end of the month. The last couple of trips I used the Winegard data plan which runs off AT&T's towers and it is amazing how many dead spots we were in where the Winegard 4G could not connect due to no signal. If that's representative of the AT&T network I wouldn't even consider them.
We have been with Verizon since long before they were Verizon (Bell Atlantic days in the early 90s) and they were infants in the cellular service game (brick and bag phone days). I don't take a change lightly and whenever we considered changing we always found that for us Verizon was the best game in town. Like I mentioned, beginning Dec 2 I am no longer eligible for my employee discount and there will be a 20 percent increase in the cost of my service. A 20 percent increase in plan cost drastically changes the parameters in the decision making process.
As a note, when we are on the road we rarely stream video using our cell service. Before leaving on a trip, as part of pre-trip prep, we find a few things we may want to watch over time and then download them to a device and then run the device through our switch. Works great even when there is patchy cellular and crappy wifi. Since we quit watching sports there is little need for television while traveling so streaming video is extremely low on the priority list.
We have a couple of weeks before decision time so I will continue checking it out.
