I would say at least 1 TB minimum for a home data plan, imo. I've used that much in a month just on Steam games, and each member of a family drives that up very linearly. Any less and you start "rationing" out something fundamentally unlimited.
- ghaff 6y agoIf you don't have broadband, today, you pretty much have to make compromises. You don't play Steam games and you don't stream much video--probably get DirectTV. Cell is one option in many places. Satellite is another. Neither are great but that's sort of where you are until maybe Starlink arrives.
- VBprogrammer 6y agoIf you are going to spend hours playing online games / watching netflix then I can't imagine why you wouldn't just stay comfortable in the city or the suburbs. Living off grid you are going to spend a lot of your free time just living. If you've ever camped in a tent it's probably not dissimilar, by the time you've made breakfast and cleaned up afterwards its almost time to think about lunch, or at least it can feel that way.
