Make sure you get at&t first

Well if that is the best signal at your house. We have decent ATT signal. No sprint or T-Mobile. Not sure about Verizon. There are similar products for all carriers.

Similar products, but does anyone else offer an unlimited plan?

Yes I could find unlimited plans with T-Mobile and/or Sprint. Took me a LOT of searching to find such with AT&T.

We've had T-mobile for quit a while now..... and our general observance (as I've mentioned many times) is if you can see a corn field, you won't have any service. :laughing:

I'm following this thread because if we ever move to our rural property, or even just put a barn up out there, I'm trying to find internet solutions for security systems at first, then our entertainment and communications needs. Good info. Thanks for pointing it out. :thumbsup:

I live rural and use the AT&T Mobley with an Asus router behind it. Works great for $22 a month. But the word on the street is that Mobley and plan are no longer available.

I have a Verizon "Unlimited" plan. The phones are each limited to 20 gig before throttled. Phones can be used as a hot spot but are throttled after 15 gig. The MiFi I use for home internet is throttled after 15 gig. Apparently, in Verizon's eyes, if they don't charge you more but throttle instead, that is unlimited.

I have AT&T for service. My plan provides 30GB per month (with rollover) for 3 phones and my home internet. I use a Netgear 4G LTE Modem and have two external antennas.

Yep that antenna is what I am thinking I will put up in the spring. Life just got in the way of doing it before winter hit.

My goal is to drastically reduce the satellite bill and be one of those cord cutters that I hear the kids talking about.

Similar on our T-Mobile phones, in that there's a couple gig of high speed, then it drops to an unlimited amount of 3G. It was pretty clear in the contract. It doesn't affect my wife and me. Our kids, on the other hand, well, they can always go solo if they don't like the free plan from mom and dad. :laughing:
