[plug] 4G modem advice

[Paul Del]

Hey Gregory

Yeah i haven't found any of the main vendors that do a really solid 4G
router modem
a 4G stick which isn't always the best. Most of what you can buy seams to
be geared towards the enterprise market especially if you want an embedded
sim card slot

At least nothing at least in the sub $500 range.
I use the peplink.com stuff and bought it from a supplier last year but
it's about $700 with two 4GX sim card slots.

Cheers Paul
