AT&T. Two LG G4’s plus a MyFi hotspot and 40 gig of data. $266 per month total.

You can forget about stuff like Netflix, but we do a lot of social media, FR, etc. and I watch a fair amount of youtube videos.

We often find ourselves having to be careful the last day or two because it’s $15 for an extra gig. And you can’t “opt out” of it.

One month we used up 90% in about five days because something went kinda goofy. We throttled the heck out of ourselves the rest of the month and did not go over. But it was hawrd. :-)

I have the my-fi connected to my desktop via USB and the printer hardwired to the desktop. It allows my wife to print via wi-fi to the My-fi.

I say that because I’ve learned to turn off the USB connection (you can select “charge only”) so that if my wife wants to print she just turns that on, and then turns back off. Other than that, she gets full wi-fi connectivity to the internet.

Then, when I want to use internet on my desktop, I switch it on. I turn it back off when I’m done. This prevents stuff from happening when I’m not using the computer. No windows updates, no torrent uploads, no nothing.
