I am just trying to get coverage cheaply for now. I don't want to spend hundreds a month if we are not full time yet. Once we go full time the situation changes and spending hundreds for connectivity is smart.
I am looking at a booster to put on a pole outside the TT. I know that if I have no bars chances are the booster will give me no bars.Upstate NY

Ok, I should have included the URL. It's pretty straight forward once you are at the right page. I've had my shortcut for so long I haven't had to Google for it. Now I see that there are lots of results that aren't related to where I was directing you. Go to the URL below and you'll be able to see what I was referring to. Scroll to the bottom for YouTube videos that cover it as well if you are interested. If not interested, no skin off my teeth, just trying to help with options.

In my case, since I already had a cellular plan with Verizon; it costs me $20 extra a month to add a hot spot as a device with 50GB of premium mobile hotspot data.
Regarding boosters; it all depends on your use case; i'd recommend reading on the links provided above to understand the limits of a booster before shelling out $500 on a booster. I am not saying a booster is bad for everyone; I am saying that they aren't right for everyone; in many cases a booster will have no impact or can even slow down performance.2017 Ford F350 Platinum 6.7L PowerStroke DRW

I have them book marked for later. But I am trying to get to the fine print on some of these things. I want true unlimited (which I currently have). I don't want to figure out how much data I use and I sure don't want to get throttled back if I am doing something.
I am leaning towards keeping my T-Mobile and probably using Visible as a backup. May not be able to stream but I can upload/download if working.Upstate NY

the hotspot limit is 5Mbps, I use a portable router to get around the one device limit. I also have a work phone with a direct Verizon plan, as long as I can get over 5Mbps on that then visible delivers the full 5Mbps. I have not had any issues with streaming at this speed, of course if you are streaming to multiple screens or 4K content it may be an issue but I haven't tried either. I have even been working, which doesn't require a lot of bandwidth while the grandkids stream without issues.
I wish they would allow a true hotspot device instead of a phone hotspot, but with a router and a booster with outside antenna for weak signals it is not much of an issue. In my opinion it is hard to beat unlimited for $25/month.2021 Imagine 2800BH
