Human Brain EnthusiastPeriodic reminder, in the US you can get flat-rate unlimited unthrottled mobile 4G/5G internet for $400/$500 a year from https://calyxinstitute.org, and they now have a bring-your-own-device option
(Note: it’s using the T-Mobile network if that makes a coverage difference for you.)
We have the 5G version as Internet backup for home and for when we use our travel trailer.
Andrew Golding@thomasfuchs how does this work in areas that would have high network traffic, if you have had a chance to use it in population-dense areas? T-Mobile gives priority to its own traffic over others that use its infrastructure which might result in slow data speeds in cities (I think Mint is in that bucket?)
@huronbikes good question, can’t tell because when I’m somewhere densely populated I normal just use my phone hotspot (Verizon)
Richard JohnsonAt rural music festivals where large crowds descend on limited local cells...
My Verizon & T-Mo phone hotspots show de-prioritization effects on tethered devices (unless I change default MTU on client devices).
T-Mo Home Internet cell modem/router/AP box shows increased net/packet latency, but speed tests only drop a few percent.
Insty backed by T-Mo (Insty's business plan SIM) remains solid at its lower rate until fest attendees use more than the 300GB quota.
