Not too bad.
The way to display the results is after the test completes there is a button to "Share Results". Click it, Click copy. This copys the URL of that image to your clipboard.
In one of these post or edit boxes enter:
[ img ] http://url....png [ /img ] << where this is the url you just copied - but remove the spaces from the the brackets and img. The little image should display.

Unless there's been a very recent change, Millenicom's Unlimited plan uses Sprint's network, and their 20GB Advanced plan uses Verizon. Are you able to use a My Verizon account to monitor your usage? Yep, I'm using the VZAM to monitor and check use.

Just a comment on doing banking over open networks. Once you connect to the bank website (https instead of just http) you are secure. Doesn't matter what connection you are using. The security issue is when you are using a public computer like at a hotel. Your banking session can leave behind bits of information on the computer (like "cookies") that others might be able to discover. As long as you are using your own computer and make sure you see the "s" in https, you are OK.

Thank you Tom for getting the image, guess I didn't realize I needed the img tag to display the results. Obviously I dont know a lot...but am learning! and thank you RVBill! I did not know that about the banking! I feel much better! I never use a public computer since I have a laptop!
Thank you everyone for your input, I feel much better informed!

Ahh! Ok, I'll give them a call and see if I can upgrade from my 20GB plan and keep the same USB760 modem I have now.

Here are the plan options for Millenicom.
http://www.millenicom.com/page/plans#unlimited_plan
I have an email indicating their Hotspot plan is $69.99/mo for 20GB trying to compete more with Verizon. Verizon is $80.00/mo 10GB but the service appears better from our testing.

Millenicom has a non disclosure agreement , so here are couple of points they cannot tell you out right
Advanced Plan is on Verizon network
Unlimited and BYOD Plans are on Sprint Network
as always , there are no taxes , no contract and much higher data limits than if you went through the carrier of your choice. Contrary to what you might hear from the misinformed out there , the coverage is exactly the same as going directly with said carrier . There is no reduced coverage or backhaul
