Internet for your truck

Not to sound stupid…. But here goes…
How do you use ‘home’ internet on the road? I guess through the phone? Or are you using mobile internet at home? Do you need a T Mobile phone too?
Verizon has ‘home’ internet for $25 a month in my area. I have Verizon mobile too

I was a Sprint customer for 20 years. Really went to #### when they joined TMobile. Worse than Sprint.
After changing to Verizon, I was amazed on how much better it is than Sprint and TMobile IMO

 

I just use my phones unlimited data plan and the PDAnet app to share the connection with my laptop when needed. It let's you share the connection even when your provider doesn't allow it.

 

I concur.

 

Here in a month or so I'll be otr once again, my choice.
What is the best mobile hotspot option out there for drivers?
I need quality and reliability.
I have at&t and am on an unlimited 5g plan.
I'll be using the mobile wifi for faster download speeds and phone updates.

Thanks ahead of time for the help.

 

Net all over hot spot is what I have, also runs my ring camera so I can check on my reefer unit if it’s running and I’m away from the truck

 

Where do you mount the ring camera to watch the reefer?

 

I got an ipad and iPhone from verizon. Unlimited data on both. 5G on the phone LTE on the ipad. 99% of the time I can watch video on the ipad no problems. Can use phone if needed but thats pretty rare. I think $115 a month for both. Id prefer real WiFi but this is what I’m using. I did see a truck with starlink but didnt talk to the driver about it.

 

I have one of those potato chip bag clips for the camera, depending on a few things , I either clip it to the mirror and point it back at the status light, or I have an extendable ladder in my tool box that I mount it to a rung so I can point it directly at the screen
