Ever since I started using cellular for home internet, it works better than the wireless internet, where they put an antenna on the roof pointed at a tower around ten miles away.

There's no more starting and stopping when watching video, and I save over twenty dollars a month. Cricket Wireless cost $55.00 dollars with unlimited data.

This is real internet with no frustration when watching video. I've been using a little over 32 gigs a month.

I just felt like sharing in case someone else might want to try this. It's the best internet I've ever had.


How much data do you use in a month? That is a big fly in the ointment.
All the cell carriers that I know of, have a cap on high speed data,
typically at ~~22GB per month on unlimited plans, much less on other,
lower cost plans. For typical cell phone use for most people, they won't
get to 22gb. But if you're using it for home internet, including streaming
videos, I would think you would. At which time, those plans slow down
to 2G speeds, ie 100Kbits or so.

It working, I don't doubt. I'm on MintMobile, which uses the TMobile
network. I see download speeds of 170Mbit/sec here in NJ when at full
speed. Another factor anyone looking into this should consider is what
the policy is at the carrier they are considering for using it for
hotspot/tethering. Many carriers have restrictions that limit that
usage more or charge extra, etc. Meaning your plan could have a 22gb
cap, but only 10 gb for hotspot.
