Hello all
I’m looking for advice on the best internet option for the truck. My cell phone hotspot isn’t cutting it. I have tried the search function, to no avail.
TIA
Wi-Fi options in the truck

Before i recommend moving to verizon, which i will,
1, try to make sure your phone is 5g capable, not 5 g exclusive (dont think those even exist just yet, but itll happen eventually)
2, how much data are you trying to chew through? If just a little more (3 or 4 days occasionally) than 10gig, could stick with your att and just pay for it on your plan
3, i use verizons 5g get more, which throttles hotspot after 50GB And runs me about 70$ a month.
But i rarely hit 15, one month i hit 40 GB, but i was installing and updating wow over my hotspot...
I use a note 10 plus and dont carry insurance on it, bought it unlocked from samsung, check their refurbished stuff ON samsungs site directlytscottme Thanks this. -
You need a better company. Metro never slows me down and I have used 200 gigs of data at times.Rubber duck kw and tscottme Thank this. -
I use nomadinternet at&t. It's hit and miss

Unlimited, uncapped, unthrottled data on Verizon's network from $25/mo.
4G LTE Wi-Fi router (they have 5G option too).
You can connect multiple devices at the same time. Using the Xfinity app I get all the cable channels I would at home. I can update my GPS, download files in my laptop and watch TV at the same time. Never has a problem with limits, caps or throttling. I can get wi-fi anyplace I can get a Verizon signal. Once everything is set up you never have to mess with it. -
