For light, personal use only
I rented this wifi device for a business trip overseas in Indonesia. The connection was fairly stable and the speed was ok, but the data limit is a real killer. The website claims that it can support of to 5 devices, but we only had 3 devices, and even that was too much for any business purposes. After checking morning emails and sending some replies, we were almost already at the data cap. The website does mention that data is throttled, but after 1/2 GB data usage it started to slow down, and at 1 GB is was completely useless (which usually happened by noon). After the first few days we (three people) only used the device for personal use, and even then we hardly made it through the day before hitting the data cap. We also noticed that even when no devices were connected, the data usage tracker on the device would show usage. I assume this is to connect/stay connected to the satellites, but when it has to use 100MB of the 1GB limit (10%), that's a lot taken away from the customer. We also noticed that the wifi isn't true wifi, in that it doesn't support certain file or data transfer types, such as sharing/uploading pictures. Bottom line: If you need a wifi device for light personal use for one or two people, this will get the job done. If you need anything else, look elsewhere.
