For some reason I've always romanticized using a laptop + hotspot.<p>This year due to various circumstances, I was going to start using it 24/7. I did not, however, because:<p>T-Mobile seems to have an actual, usable and affordable plan. $50/month, but they don't offer it in my area.<p>Verizon offers 5G home internet and it's only $35/month (I'm already a verizon wireless customer). It's available in my area, but there aren't any slots actually open for it. Their traditional 'Jetpack' options are $100/150GB of data. And using your phone as a hotspot only gives you 60GB of premium data and then you're rate limitied.<p>ATT offers Internet Air, but they don't have any information on usage other than "In rare cases, if your usage is contributing to congestion on the network, AT&T will greatly reduce your speed for a min. of 30 min". Previously, their product wasn't offered at my address, and they also had disclaimers about not using it for media consumption or commercial use. They also allow 60GB of smartphone tethering and then throttled to 128kbs.
