A/V internet upgrade
#5

Being in the high tech business and full timing for 18 months now while working for an Internet equipment provider, I will offer my experience. This is no longer rocket science unless you venture off the beaten path a lot. I have successfully used AT&T MiFi with an unlimited data plan for both video conferencing at work and TV streaming. I started out with Wifi extender and both Verizon and AT&T MiFi cards, but have only needed AT&T. I use an app from rvmobileinternet.com to determine all 4 major carriers coverage in the area I want to visit.

Also, in selecting a data package, network management is OK after 25GB of data, but throttling is never good. Network Management just kicks in congested areas, otherwise you have full bandwidth.

AT&T owns DirecTV, we have subscribed to DirecTV Now streaming for only $15 per month with no need for an expensive dish on the roof. Bear in mind we are not big TV people. This solution may not be adequate for some.

We also subscribe to Hulu and Amazon Prime Music and Video, and play through an AppleTV.

We have used about 300GB of data monthly for a year from AT&T with no issues. I still have a Verizon MiFi card as backup for work but have not used it.

My experience says forget about WiFi and even cellular booster equipment unless you spend a lot of time in rural areas with poor cell coverage. A new MiFi card sitting on the dash works perfectly well. Keeping it simple and inexpensive.
