Verizon "mobile" home internet

[DKRITTER]

We have fiber at home so we speed test in the 700-900 range.

We signed up a couple of weeks ago with Verizon Home with speeds of up to 300 It actually runs from 10-50 during normal times of day. We are going to stick with fiber at the house.

We are going to the Kids house this week and will test Verizon Home there if it's good there we'll keep it if not return it.

I'll let you know.

I did some more digging. Here's what I learned: if you have a verizon box, and take it with you (as we have, and plan to do, when we're staying at least 2 weeks in a couple of places), and Verizon detects that the box has been moved, they might cut service to it.
If so, we'll revert to our jetpack. They'll only cut service to the box, not your phone, etc.

I'd like to get a bit more information on this. We are about to take off for August to Colorado.

If possible could you reference this or maybe elaborate a bit.

i'll try to keep this brief. We have been using a Verizon box at our house for a couple of weeks and it works fine. Does everything we need to do - 2 smart TVs, and runs our various devices fine.
Son is an occasional gamer, and it seems to work for him, but he does think it's a tiny bit different from our former "boost+" cable internet that I recently cut.
I got a second box to test it on our trip. We will be staying in one place for a month and I'm hoping it will work for us.
If I understand correctly Verizon considers these boxes home Internet service. Instructions say do not move this box and I think they mean using it as a mobile internet.
The worst case scenario is that they'll detect that this box 'belongs' at our home in Texas, but is being used in Colorado, and...cut service to that box. However the Verizon people at the store assured me they would only cut service to that one device.
i'm thinking that home Internet devices like this get "priority". Verizon gauges how much Internet they need for an area based on business and home Internet first, and mobile devices like jetpacks (secondary). So they can't have 'home internet' boxes popping up randomly.
The people who are using pepwave must be getting the Internet from a different source - satellite? The place where we are going has several towers on the nearby mountain but last year I thought it was barely passable service on my phone hotspot. I'm hoping this box might give me better service.
I would not recommend it for moving around.
i'm reluctant to invest in the pep wave stuff because, due to some possible changes in our life, I don't know how much longer we'll be rv'ing.
I bet some folks on this forum can better explain how Internet is sorted out to users.
One YouTuber said that you get lower priority using the box, but that doesn't bother me because I already was getting mediocre service at this place where we stay in the summer, and if the box is worse I'll just go back to my jet pack.
