December 5About the Sprint WiFi plan, I'm in the Rio Grande Valley (Mission, TX), and am looking to hear if anyone has experience using it in this area? We currently have a hot-spot from Total Wireless (uses Verizon) and it is nearly worthless. Sure could use a solution.

- Joe & Merry December 9 Thank you for the response. I was hoping to take advantage of the FMCA Sprint no contract unlimited wifi hotspot deal. If the Sprint/T-Mobile merger goes through, It could be the best answer.

- OkiDokiPoki December 12 They are now talking about getting rid of the sprint network when the tmobile merger goes thru, so I would question anything with sprint. I'm kinda shocked they would do that. I thought sprints network was better than tmobile when I had sprint. I have tmo... more
- Joe & Merry December 15 Update: we ordered and have received the FMCA Sprint WiFi hotspot. This is day 3. I'm starting a log of Ookla speed test results at 7 AM and 7 PM. For the 2 days logged, AM results are blazing fast (better than 35 mbps), 7 PM not so good at 1.75 mbps (ju... more

  Don & Anne December 15 Thanks for the info. I expect your results will be better than we will expect a couple of miles south of you. It does appear to be good enough to sign up once we get there. We look forward to updates later. Don

- CaptDeb December 13 How do you get the discount? I went to Office Depot today and they had no idea what I was talking about (even the manager) when I showed my membership card. They said I needed some kind of code.
- Seann ( the Canadian) December 13 You have to register with them using a credit card online or actually on the phone and then when you go to pay for something using that credit card and only that credit card your discount shows up
