Was wondering what WiFi or hotspot set up y’all have? I know a lot of people go through Verizon’s hotspot but to those who play videos games and steam off their TV of laptop.. what set up do you have? And how long does it last ya. Thanks

You can just tether your phone to your laptop and save the $$ on the hotspot. Once I load a game on steam like Fallout or Skyrim I am good to go. For PvP it depends how close you are to a tower when parked. You need that low ping to make them game changing plays.

I don't do video games but I do a fair bit of YouTube and some Netflix. Verizon works great and is worth the money. I am on the 22 gig and pay about $90. Never go over. I do change YouTube to 144p for music or 240/360p for video quality. I use Netflix download a fair bit, from home or other good Wi-Fi sources. I also pay for fj wifi.

I play offline, singleplayer games. If I can find an open Wifi hotspot, I'll take advantage, but only to apply updates or sync saves with the cloud.

I hate apple. Went android and will never go back. I use Verizon and have an unlimited data plan. A man on the interweb as much as me cant settle for less.

I have Verizon hotspot to a desktop . As the other driver said it depends on the latency but most of the time I'm good . Usually I get a good ping but there are times were I am somewhere where Pvp or high latency is a no go
I had Pilot Flying J enhanced wifi internet for 2 years . It's the best of all of them . The bandwith is good but the latency is trash and as soon as the new Net Neutrality rules went in to affect all of a sudden lots of sites and IPs don't work . No one at PFJ could explain it to me so I let that service go . But it is good for streaming only not gaming .Last edited: Jul 23, 2018

I tried Pilot FlyingJ since the first of the year. Forget it. Their support had no problem at all giving me a refund.
I won't do Verizon. I deal with companies who have integrity. Not companies who demand payment for something they refuse to provide(an actual working phone). Then take action to the fullest extent of the law to slander your credit report.Redtruckerusa and laaylor Thank this. -
I have sprint so I don't worry about it. My other phone is metro pcs. That's also unlimited data, so do not worry about that either.
laaylor Thanks this. -
Zeviander Thanks this.
