The Calyx Institute is a good deal if you want unlimited mobile wifi. \$700 for a one-time membership plus \$500/year. And they do good work with the money.\
\
\"In 2013, Sprint acquired a competitor called Clearwire in order to gain control of the company\'s wireless spectrum in order to launch Sprint\'s LTE/4G business. Now, that spectrum was originally allocated for educational purposes before being sublicensed to Clear, and it came with the requirement that non-profits get unlimited access at very low prices.\
\
And Calyx, remember, is a nonprofit.\
\
Calyx uses the wireless data service as a membership premium to help pay for their crypto and privacy supporting activities: to pay for multiple gigabit connections, data center space, etc.. to offer a whole array of free security and privacy services to the public including our LEAP based VPN, their encrypted instant messaging service, and their many Tor exit nodes.\
\
The upshot? For \$500, Calyx will send you a little wifi hotspot with a Sprint SIM in it that comes with a year\'s worth unlimited, anonymous, unshaped, unfiltered 4G/LTE bandwidth on Sprint\'s network. Unlimited as in, I downloaded 60GB with mine and it didn\'t break a sweat.\
\
And it\'s a tax-deductible charitable donation.\"\
