I have Comcast, but my deal for the last two years recently ended just in time for me to also start having hour+ long outages multiple times per week. I’m curious about my options, and specifically I wonder how viable wireless options like Verizon or T-Mobile are. Are the speeds consistent (and high) enough for video conference? Video streaming? I don’t really game so I don’t think latency is that important for me.
I live in the Cheesman/Cap Hill area and have one of those hideous green Verizon 5g poles right outside my building, but the eligibility checker on Verizon’s site thinks it may not be in range for me somehow so I wonder how fragile it is.
I have Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) with no issues at home but I guess I’m not really stressing the throughput on my phone.
What ever you do, remember the best experience is up to you at the end of the day. You will need to make sure you have used a cell map and find out where your internet towers will be. there are sites for this. also, use a decent antenna/modem. Get the antenna high in the air and pointed in the right direction. There are sites for cheep unlimited sims and others you can get that take a dedicated 5g/4g hotpots and make it appear as an iPhone for providers. I had a two sim card modem for the best setup.
