We know this equipment has gotten some dodgy press from people saying it’s kind of slow in some instances, but we’re still curious as they roll this out globally if it won’t pick up long term. Has anyone tried it? It’s called “Skyroam.”

If you’ve rented or purchased it, what’s been your experience? For basically $8/day, you can have unlimited wi-fi anywhere in 90 countries. No hidden fees. Nothing else to buy. Just unlimited wi-fi. It’s like the Verizon plan, except — more international… and doesn’t rack up a bill when you’re not using it! And cheaper!
Works like a champ. It is a little pricey up front, but it is a great tool to have in your travel bag. I appreciate that the fee is based on a 24-hr basis, not on the date, which allows you to maximize the benefit.
I received one as a Christmas gift, and can honestly say it is one of the best gifts ever! Easy to use, great battery life, VERY affordable. It is a must-have for anyone who travels and needs to get online.
