I'd guess. Streaming movies at 1080p will devour all the data withing a day) I never go above 30Gb even though utube running and browsing for days when I'm at rest break. I'm just keeping it within watchable resolution, so the data flow is low. Just smart management. And yeah, 250 bux for 3 lines including paying off two new phones on the plan at the moment. Torrent downloads can be done at home)

That feeling of having brutally slow internet for the next five days is a bummerAnother Canadian driver Thanks this. -
Well, if starlink works, why not. I'm just not inclined to pay 135$ and deal with wires and dishes for something I already have. 40Gb a month hotspot allotment per line is more than enough to use on laptop I have, which is browsing, reading/talking on specialty sites, shopping, utube news and shows, a movie sometimes when I want bigger than phone's screen. Everything else phone does, without any throttling I have seeing as of yet.

I have Starlink and so far its been great. very little downtime and for TV I use KlowdTV. com and Pluto.tv
The speeds are great, and its not capped at a limit, it works great in the west but the Starlink map looks like its spotty service east of the Mississippi.
I have had the VZW hotspot, and it was good but only until 30gb.
Starlink is the way to go. The RV service is nice but tis the same price as the residential with mobility, you cant just suspend it like you can with RV service.'88K100, Another Canadian driver, D.Tibbitt and 3 others Thank this. -
This is 3 weeks of normal, usual use. Yes, Starlink is a good thing to have, not everyone can afford it though. I can, but why would I?)Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -

I have never had a plan that allowed 40gb a month of tethering that might make me reconsider
But the worst throttling I get in in mexico where I am only allowed .5gb a day.
I also overland through some really remote places where there is no signal of any kind and you need In reach from garmin to send a text message.
Think how cool it would be camped out on a mountain top or remote beach and in total internet range with blazing fast speeds the whole timeAnother Canadian driver, dwells40, Wasted Thyme and 1 other person Thank this. -
If I'd do what you do I'd get what you got
PS: It is called Elite unlimited. They upped 30 to 40 Gb recently. But 30 was enough for me anyways.Another Canadian driver and The Crossword Trucker Thank this. -
More channels than KlowdTVAnother Canadian driver, dwells40, H3R3T1C and 1 other person Thank this.
