Any suggestions for a decent hotspot for otr. I tend to do livestreams on YouTube and TikTok. I was looking at this.

I use a T-Mobile hotspot. Very good speeds in most places.
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Check with your carrier. I would bet you could upgrade your plan to include unlimited hotspot for a lot less than that stream gadget.
I have AT&T with unlimited everything on three lines for $150 a month.tscottme Thanks this. -
T-Mobile "home" internet is the best deal out there right now for unlimited data for $50/mo. It works well as long as you are in a TMobile coverage area. Their network has been getting better but not as large as Verizon or AT&T.
That Stream device uses Verizon, which is good. OTRMobile has mixed reviews. They are reselling bulk business plans against Verizon terms of service. You may find your service gets cut off unexpectedly because Verizon blocks it. I've also heard reports of throttling even though they say it won't.tscottme Thanks this. -
X2 on the tmobile hotspot. I also have Verizon. Usually when one is good the other is poor.

I use Verizon and occasionally the 50GB that came free with my AT&T phone plan. I have a dedicated hotspot device and it’s good enough for online gaming 95% of the places I stop, so it should be good enough for what you need

Just remember that coverage is not 100% with any of the services.
There will be a few days a year that it is just not there.
I have been with T-Mobile for around 15 years. The coverage has gotten much better over time, so much so that there are few areas I frequent that does not have 5G.
I had a Verizon hotspot some years back that also lacked coverage in certain areas that my T-Mobile phone had no problem with.
Best to have a back up plan. I have a whole lot of shows and movies on my laptop hard drive for those times when streaming is not possible.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Yea but the “unlimited” is it unlimited full speed or only up to so many gigs. Cause every company I’ve read about it’s unlimited high speed too so many gigs then it’s reduced speed. I be live-streaming most days. I need FULL unlimited without reduced speeds

I had a verizon jet pack for a few years. Now a days the wife got us on Spectrum mobile (unlimited data) and just piggy-back off my phone.
