Cool
Verizon LTE speed is a lot faster than 3G speed, therefore, using the iPhone 5 or 5S for a hot spot is much more doable. I honestly don't know if the Verizon JetPack would be any faster.

If you have a friend with LTE, have them let you try their hotspot to determine if that speed is sufficient for your temporary needs.

I just performed a test using my iPhone 5 (LTE) as a hot spot for my MacBook Pro

Download speed was on the MacBook Pro was 18Mb/s... Faster than I thought...

The iPhone 5 speed test recorded 25Mb/s, while not being used as a hot spot.
