My wife has an Ally and we could use it, but she works evenings and that would leave me at home without a way to check ORDN. Way to be split down the middle. lol. I don't need anything super fast just decent. The ability to take it with me anywhere I want or still have access if the power goes out is a compelling feature. Plus it would just be added into my Verizon bill so that's one less company we have to remember to pay.
