John Andersen is the acknowledged master I our group so he will probably join in.

We use a Verizon MiFi with a truly unlimited prepaid plan Got lucky, John told all of us about it a couple years ago and it was only available for a few months. Along with that, we have unlimited on both phones and both iPads and can use them as hotspots if needed. Wilson Engineering WeBoost for signal boosting. I also have a WiFi booster but seldom use it as crappywifi is still crappy WiFi even if boosted.

I can mirror what Vaughan said - -

John Anderson is very knowledgeable and awesome to chat with...


John turned me onto - https://calyxinstitute.org/membership/membership-levels

I have used it since last year and have had ZERO issues.. AS long as you have cell service, this will work.

Once the you pay the 1st year at $500.00.. the balance of the years will be $400 per year, or $33.33 per month for truly unlimited/ unthrottled Wi-Fi.. For that cost, you get: the WI-FI and the hot spot... I used the Franklin T9 and just upgraded to the MIFI 2000 with 5G

I have turned mine on and watched 5 or 6 HD movies a day for a week straight with no issues....

Take a look at Starlink. https://www.starlink.com This is Elon Musk new brain child. 550 dollars for the equipment and 100 dollars a month with unlimited data. It comes with its own modem/router with built in wifi. I have had speeds up to 30 to 200 mbps. This is in beta testing right now with higher speeds expected with the launch of more satellites. All you have to do is take out of the box set it on a tripod that is included, plug it in and wait 15-20 and your good to go.
