    Those of you that are using Hughes Net or similar services you should check out Simnet wireless. We are out in no mans land and it looked like Hughes was our only option. Tried it for our business and it was slow and had a data cap each month. Switched to Simnet and the speeds are better. Truly unlimited data and no contract! Just my .02 but it has been so much better for us I at least had to share.

    They can go anywhere. They do use ATT and T-Mobile network at the moment and are about to add Verizon. The cell booster that @Oldie2007 was talking about might be needed in some areas. I’m able to stream movies via Netflix or Hulu while my son games online PUBG or the like and my wife and daughter are browsing Pinterest. Oh and I’m browsing TW too. All this at the same time and no hiccups

    I actually don’t. Can’t hardly get a call unless I’m standing in the right spot outside.

    For some reason this just works though

    I know. I saw the same thing but my neighbor tried it and had good results. So I have been using it for the past 3 months and like I said I’ve been able to do everything I need to do and then some. There’s no contract just a couple hundred for equipment on the front end.

    Here’s a screen shot where you can see how crappy my cell signal is. Look up in the upper left corner. One bar on VerizonC7CF1511-9F84-4A7E-9E13-DCF016A4DC11.jpg

    Unlimited Verizon throttles you after ~22-24GBs of data in a month. They call it prioritizing. The service I’m talking about is truly unlimited. They buy large bulk quantities of data from the providers and turn around and sell it through their business Simnet Wireless. The days of truly unlimited straight from the provider to consumer are pretty much over.

    Looks like your WiFi signal is weak wherever you are in the house there. I bet you’d get better speed test results if you were closer to your router.

    Router is on the other side of the house. This house was built in the mid 50s and only recently updated. Very few modern electrical upgrades and poor planning on the ones that were installed. I don't use my WiFi at home lol

    How big is the house? You can probably get a better router and change the game on using WiFi at home. My router covers the house here which is about 2400 sq ft and I can get a signal almost anywhere on the property unless I’m in the woods. Covers almost the entire 3.2 acres.
