    What is a popular option for wifi on the road? I'm talking unlimited plans and gear that have good bandwidth.

    Thank You

    I think most drivers use their phone as a hotspot.

    I use my phone but it don't take long to run out of Hot Spot data. I too would like a better and more reliable solution.

    If you're looking for unlimited data, the T-Mobile home internet service is probably the best value out there right now. Just put the router in your truck instead of your home and it works wherever you are as long as you're in an area with service.
     
    SheepDog Thanks this.

    Just signed up with gridcrowd.org ... $40/month unlimited, and it's nonprofit, so fully tax deductible. It's on t-mobile, and they have good coverage along most routes I run

    I have that at home, but I use their hotspot in the truck.

    It is rather bulky to be on the truck, and it requires more power,
    And does it fall back to 4G when 5G is not there?

    Maybe find a different carrier.

    Although they all seem to be moving towards this ridiculous artificial scarcity (charging by the GB, lol) model.
