Cheap $20 a month Stand Alone Unlimited Rural Internet through AT&T Wireless

------------------------------------

Basically what's an equitable price and would they let me "swap out" if mine died?

---------------------

Just swap the SIM cards.

I bought two Mobleys and the second one is my insurance policy in case the first one dies.

Every once in a while mine will slow down, slower than tower congestion. A power on reset brings it back up to my normal speeds for being over 9 miles from the tower.

Signal strength is -116, just now ran these:

Tried to watch YouTube about 8 last night, major buffering. Ran a Speedtest, result was extremely slow:

Checked signal level on my AT&T Wi-Fi Manager page. It was -103 dBm. Did a power on reset, got the normal -116 dBm and ran Speedtest again.

The result is normal tower busy speeds for that time of the evening:

Major tower congestion always shows up with download a lot less than upload.

I have mine taped against the upper pane in a window facing the tower. Usually report 15-20 Mbps down. When it slows the first thing I check is the tape. . Then I do a restart. I guess I am lucky that my tower that is 10 miles away doesn't seem to get congested.

I haven't posted here in awhile but glad to see so many of you took advantage of my post before AT&T took it the plan away. My mobley and everyone I know that has one is still going strong

Yep, thank you muchly for starting this thread. It is how I found out about the Mobley. :thumbsup:

We were able to drop the $70 per month HughesNet satellite service, for the $20 per month Connected Car plan that doesn't quit working when the storms roll in.

My Mobley is still working great and the service is still $22.01 per month. I have been very pleased with it. Thanks for informing me about it zimy!

Nuther THANKS!

I almost snoozed too long but finally came to terms with trying one and boy am I glad I did.

 

[BigBlue1]

Yes, Zimy, I'm also glad you posted. It's been awesome for us out in the country!

I checked and I'm still running at normal speeds. Not sure exactly where I'm at in my billing/usage cycle but I can say I've never noticed a slowdown and I would notice.

Yep, did the same.

Mine seems to run fine. I'm not on it that much to see about throttled speeds.

I actually have two - My daughter uses one in her apartment while she's in college. $20/mo beats $65/mo from the cable company - especially for how little she's on the interwebs.

I use the other one primarily when I travel, but it does live in my truck most of the time. Great for streaming my radio station if I'm out and about. My cell phone is on a limited plan shared by 4 devices so connecting my phone to the Mobley when I'm out of radio range for my station has been great. When I travel, it's nice to have secure internet instead of the hotel's wireless!!
