Thanks, that's sort of what I thought. I use satellite internet and when that runs out, I use a mobile hotspot the rest of the time and whenever I travel. I never use public networks.
@Sanguine You might consider one of those base-station cellular units.... They are way more powerful than your phone, and will deliver much better service than using your phone to hotspot.
Might be a cellular repeater/antenna involved too... I don't know about by your needs exactly, But Straight Talk, over to the Wallyworld is about a 100 dollar investment for the unit and somewhere between 35 and 55 a month (depending on your bandwidth)... If you need an antenna, that'd be more (maybe another hundred)...
Most of the hillbillies up here that can, do it that way, Cheaper and better then sat, and if you can do internet for TV, you can get rid of sat altogether.
You should check it out. If you get cell service at your house, it is a good option.
