Having fast internet almost anywhere is a wonderful thing. Because it's the best 4g/3g modem with Wi-Fi on the best network, I like the Verizon Jetpack 4620L. It's the successor to last year's favorite, and it's fixed some quirks while keeping its $50 price.

Conclusion: We like it
As an upgrade to last year's Jetpack 4510L, the Novatel 4620L mobile hotspot adds enough new features to make it worth recommending, especially since it's available at the same $49 price (with a two-year Verizon Wireless contract) as the earlier model. The Jetpack allows you to share connectivity with up to 10 devices simultaneously, and runs on Verizon's fast new 4G LTE network. If you're out of LTE range, it will fall back to Verizon's slower 3G network -- and if you're really out of range (i.e. in another country) it can roam internationally, too (as long as you're prepared to pay up). Mobile hotspots are still a pricey proposition for most people, but if you need shareable broadband on the go, the latest Jetpack is the best way to do it.

This is a great, simple gadget. It's incredibly handy when you're riding in a car or train and just need some wifi. I use it now and then when my favorite Internet cafe's wifi is on the fritz or just too slow for something I really need to get done. The interface for resetting the SSID and...
