I would love to have this as a backup internet option. I live in a town that has Google Fiber (literally 50 feet away from me), but I don't have access. I'm oncall and cannot be without internet at almost any time, and my internet goes down much more than I'm comfortable with. I hope Starlink is an option soon!
- mycall 6y agoCan you not use mobile hotspot/tether internet as a backup option?
- trashcan 6y agoThat is what I currently do. I use >~1TB a month in bandwidth though, so it isn't practical to tether everything so I end up only tethering my laptop and even that is still pretty expensive on Google Fi ($10/gb until I am throttled). Fortunately my internet has only had problems maybe 4 or 5 times in the last year. It just feels irresponsible of me to rely on data that eventually gets throttled to be almost unusable when I need it for my job. Maybe I will get a backup AT&T internet connection and expense it at some point :(.
