Has anyone tried getting a cell service with national roaming WiFi hot spots?
I have Spectrum cable at home and cell service through work. Data usage is not a problem nationally for me but I am thinking about getting a personal service with WiFi hotspots.
It looks like both Xfinity (comcast) and spectrum have hotspots all over the place. I am wondering about the quality & speed.
I only stream exclusively for years so cable is not a need. I travel a lot for business so I am totally familiar with loading up on download content when out of touch..
Plan is to install a router in the RV so everyone can network together and then when in range get Wifi on board somehow. I have used mobile cellular hotspots before so that is another option albeit at a lower speed. There must be something similar for WiFi by now...
PS - I also have a digital broadcast antenna at home. Is that worth having on-board? I think we watch one broadcast show like every 2 months. It is good for dialing into local news and weather, though...
