4G Mobile Hotspot

Hey Everybody!

As part of my upcoming move, I am going to have to change internet providers. So one of the options I am looking at is going with Sprint's 4G mobile hotspot device. The way my plan with Sprint is already structured it would actually be cheaper than what I pay now for internet.

But how good is it really?????

We have mine and The Boy's laptops that would be moving all around the small apartment (700 sqft maybe), and then The Boy's desktop and iMac. I know it says it will provide service to up to 5 devices at a time. But my bigger concern is, will my signal on the laptop be good in the next room? Like what is the range on it? I know our current modem does okay in our house, but it's a full on modem.

So my question to y'all is,
Do any of you use a mobile hotspot device daily for your internet service at home or work?

Do you experience much service down time?

Who is your provider? (or just if you use Sprint)

Do you experience "dead" spots in your home/business where your computer doesn't pick up?

Anything you feel I should know?

Anybody use something other than your local cable/dish/phone provider for internet access?

Thanks bunches my tech-savvy friends.
