I have Verizon unthrottled business plan from a company off eBay. I pay $70 a month. His new price is $100 but it's truly unlimited and unthrottled
baha Thanks this. -

The biggest difference I have learned from Verizon and ATT is their customer service. Verizon offers slightly larger coverage, but ATT will give you friendlier service if you have to call them.
Personally, I don't really care how I am treated or what they say as long as I get the best coverage possible and my issue is resolved.
"I resolved your issue for you, you dumb %&*# moron."
Me: Thank you, have a nice day. *click*
There are only a few areas where I was able to get service when my ATT-sporting codriver couldn't. Other areas we were both SOL, like out in Montana. My movie would die codrivers music would die too and I'd climb up front and see people using those snow rocket things along the highway, somewhere in nowhere Montana.
I can only imagine myself on one of those and running straight into a tree and breaking my neck.PE_T Thanks this. -
ATT unlimited tablet data plan $35. Stick sim in a mobile hotspot.
I’m a bit behind on current ATT offerings. So they could’ve upped the caps on newer plans.
Tethering off a phone or tablet gets throttled after 10gb; but if you put the sim from a tablet with the plan in a mifi device, the data isn’t considered tethering and it only gets deprioritized after 22gb. How deprioritization affects depends on location and congestion.
I run the tablet plan (sim in mifi) and a phone. If the mifi is slow due to congestion, I watch previously downloaded stuff and tether phone to pc for web surfing.
The tablet plan is a prepaid monthly plan so can’t be locked in or grandfathered. At some point I believe ATT will crack down on this; but I’ve had this for while, was using it for home net since I live in the sticks. I was averaging about 700gb a month. My usage has gone way down since I started this tho.Last edited: Feb 6, 2020

Hm.
Ive a computer that is a orphan. Im going to have to find a wifi box that goes into the motherboard via ethernet and transmit a key to my router for a private access to internet. That will be something I will have to work on.
Ive got plenty of data each month but am hampered by slide ups, slide unders, tiny x's and so on. Working on that eradication. -
