We need a lot of data for our jobs. Most “unlimited” data plans have a GB threshold where they throttle your speed and it becomes unusable for our work needs.
We tried HughesNet when we started out in 2016… they were rock solid stable and had plenty of bandwidth, but they were way too lagged for us for work purposes. After over 6 years, and up until a week ago, we had four Verizon sources (two cell phones, one jet pack mifi, and one cell-enabled iPad; as well as one ATT source. Last Saturday I switched my (Verizon) phone to T-Mobile, so now it’s another source (and one less Verizon source). Also got the T-Mobile 5G gateway… So yet another source and, so far, it seems like this will let us cut back on most of the other ones. T-Mobile gateway is an unlimited AND UNTHROTTLED whole house portable (mobile) cellular internet option that allows unlimited connections. (Was leaning hard towards StarLink, but I expect they’re over selling it before they have sufficient infrastructure in place.). So far, the T-Moble is performing quite well, but it’s only been a few days...I’ll update our experience with its performance when we’ve had more experience and have moved around a bit.
