Looked through your IG, very cool. Who/what are you using for internet access while on the road? I'm interested in trying to travel more when working remote but trying to make sure I end up with a decent connection each day seems like it could be challenging.

I'm currently using AT&T Wireless Home Internet. It's about $120/m with 100GB of data. https://www.att.com/cellphones/att/att-wireless-internet.html https://www.att.com/cellphones/att/att-wireless-internet.htm... I previously used an unlimited Sprint hotspot. It had more data but had poor coverage in many areas.

  Have you considered Verizon's unlimited jetpack or AT&T's unlimited tablet plan for $30 a month? https://buyasession.att.com/sbd/Common/ShopRatePlans.action https://buyasession.att.com/sbd/Common/ShopRatePlans.action

    There is no such thing as unlimited. They throttle you after 22GB. I paid extra for the 100GB plan so I would have guaranteed no throttling.

      There is such a thing as unlimited, one of the people on our T-Mobile account is at 147GB of tethering with another week to go. People have successfully used both the plans I mentioned for home internet. If your not in a very congested area, any of these plans should work just fine.

  I'd also recommend the Calyx institutes unlimited plan for $500 but that is Sprint backed. https://www.calyxinstitute.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=19 https://www.calyxinstitute.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?r...

    I used Calyx hotspots for 2 years. The hardware they offer is garbage and Sprint coverage is spotty. The Franklin R850 is outdated and unreliable. I had one and hated it. The ZTE hotspot they had after that wasn't terrible but the charge controller was bad and would overcharge the batteries. Now they're back to the terrible R850 since ZTE is banned. I can't speak to the R910 but after my experience with the R850 I never want to own another Franklin product. I may get another unlimited Sprint or T-Mobile hotspot since they're good for high bandwidth activities (eg streaming video) when the signal works.
