I am a virtual math tutor for a state college.
Right now we are between semesters so I am working on a number of small personal business projects.
I have been using my (new4G) Verizon prepaid mobile phone as a hotspot.
It has been working like a charm for now.
However, next week we have some online training via Skype.
And then on June 1, we resume tutoring and will also be using WCOnline, Blackboard and Zoom.
In short, I need the most cost-effective, amply sufficient speed/data to do my job.
c’mon advise.
Satellite internetthe solution you mentionis about as enjoyable as DSL, and undoubtedly costs more.
Thats not great, but its still a lot better than satellite internet.
And if youre willing to switch carriers, you might find a plan thats even better.
(Youre throttled to 128Kbps if you go over.)
T-Mobile:For $60/month, you get unlimited 4G LTE data and unlimited 3G data for your hotspot.
Blow past that amount, and youre throttled back to 3G speeds.
That could take years, though, so I wouldnt stress just yet.
Its not great, but its a consideration if youre on a budget.
That said, ensure to do your due diligence and investigate any and all alternative internet options.
Satellite internet should be considered the internet of last resort.
Out of curiosity, what do your new neighbors do for internet access?
You might want to talk to them, tooperhaps they know about an amazing local solution that you dont.
