Since we were already Sprint subscribers, I got the Sprint Overdrive™ 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot for the bus and so far, we love it! Our experience has been that the WiFi service at the various RV parks is spotty at best and nonexistent at worst. It's critical that Vita have dependable access to the internet at all times while we're travelling for her work at the CDC and depending on RV park WiFi was just not cutting it! So far the Sprint solution with the Overdrive Hotspot has served us easily and flawlessly!Originally Posted by Jeff Bayley

From what we've heard, the MyFi is a good solution for basic users. We chose the Overdrive for a few advantages. First, it is a dual-mode 3G/4G device, with access to dependable 3G speeds and accelerated 4G speeds (up to 10x faster than 3G) where available (a lot of places). Also, it is GPS navigation enabled, has a memory card slot, and has an AC adaptor so we don't have to be at the mercy of the battery life.
Initial set up was easy and fool proof and operation is automatic - just press the power button, wait for it to boot and we're online! Vita can be online while we're rolling and we can both be online at the same time (when we're stopped, of course)
We had gotten the Overdrive the week before we moved to our new house. After the move, it took Comcast a little over a week before they could schedule to come and reinstall our cable, phone, and broadband internet. In the interim, we used the Overdrive at home for internet access and found the speeds comparable to those we experienced with our regular Comcast broadband cable modem!
Again - so far, we're very pleased!
