Xtreme2damax Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm living in a rural area ten minutes outside the city and village, currently I have no other options than poor 3G, satellite internet or dial-up. I like to game online and I find my current 3G service to be inadequate for an enjoyable experience while playing Team Fortress 2, I experience high ping, ping spikes and severe lag while trying to play with a 3G connection. I found out that the Sprint tower close to me is apparently being upgraded to 4G/LTE, consulting coverage maps also shows that Verizon towers already offer LTE service around me but a person I know had his 4G/LTE phone with him and could only pick up a 3G signal with poor reception so I don't know. I am looking for 4G/LTE devices for a reasonable price that aren't propriety and locked to a singular network. So no Verizon, AT&T and Sprint only devices, they must be able to be activated on all the major networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted January 31, 2014 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well simply put, there is no LTE roaming so you will have to get a device from one or the other. Devices like the nexus 5 can use LTE on Tmobile, Sprint of AT&T but never Verizon. Any LTE device for Verizon had to be one of of theirs even tho they are supposed to allow compatible devices. Obviously you are looking for a mifi type device, your options are very limited in that regard unless you get a router that can use a USB dongle as a backup internet connection then you can swap between sprint, Verizon and all the rest.
