So I have T-Mobile in a major city. Whenever my ISP goes down, my normally fast 5G slows to a crawl due to the increased load. So it seems like when you need this the most is when youd get the worst performance.
I live in the middle of nowhere up a gigantic mountain with gigabit fibre and have literally never once had an internet outage
WTF is happening in the US that makes outages common?
We get an outage every month or so, I blame construction, but I honestly don’t know.
It’s common for that user, not the US.
That’s what the mobile hotspot feature is for on the cellphone you’re already paying for.
You mean the VPN I pay for that hides the fact I’m using my phone as a hotspot?
Wait, you have to pay to use your phone as a hotspot?!
You get a few gigs for free then they charge you out the ass.
This sounds really expensive. 5G as a backup makes sense, but 30 bucks is actual primary service money, not just in case money.
Make it 5 and I would consider it.
Or even 5 flat and 30 for a month when it kicks in or is enabled.
Edit: ofcourse not when it kicks in if TMobile is also your primary provider. Cause that just invites fuckery.
Or even $50 a year with like 5 GB included and pay-as-you-go afterward.
But yeah, $30/mo is more than I pay for my single line that also includes hotspot.
TIL Hotspot is now called Home Internet Backup.
Because a hotspot is free or discounted!
But Home Internet Backup? $30 a month EZ.
