My issue with Verizon is they ALWAYS throttle after a certain point, eve with their unlimited plan.
To clarify, if you use Verizon on your phone with an unlimited account, the bandwidth is unlimited on that phone.
You have a certain amount of high bandwidth data each month for sharing your connection with other devices (turning on your hotspot). After that limit, the bandwidth for sharing is limited.
I believe dedicated Verizon hotspots with unlimited bandwidth remain unlimited while sharing. That may be a viable solution for you, if you like the Verizon coverage.
“My issue with Verizon is they ALWAYS throttle after a certain point, even with their unlimited plan.”
AT&T does this too. We live RV mobile. We just live within our means and do not need 24-7 high speed. We even live without streaming internet TV! (imagine that!). Currently Verizon and USB tether or hotspot to our laptops or tablets.
“Verizon is they ALWAYS throttle after a certain point, eve with their unlimited plan.”
Yes. And when you’re throttled on Verizon you might as well just switch off everything until the end of that current billing cycle. They advertise unlimited, and get away with it, because technically you DO have coverage. Here’s what it cuts back to:
“Verizon Msg: Your device ... has used up its hotspot allowance. You’ll have speeds up to 600 Kbps or 3 Mbps when in 5G UWB until the next billing cycle.”
I use “easy tether” on a second cell phone tethered to a travel router. I go through 100 gigs a month running my backup servers and watching movies without any problem or throttling.
