Noob with a mifi 7730L
Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2021 8:18 am
Full time RVer here (as of a month ago), suddenly realizing I am NOT prepared for rural internet. I thought a reseller would be fine, but after waiting 3 days for tech support to get me back online, I'm nervous i got scammed.
I'm a software engineer, so i need reliable, unthrottled data, but believe it or not I don't need a ton of bandwidth; everything's in The Cloud now. I'll use it if it's available, of course
I have a mifi 7730L which came with a prepaid verizon sim, a google fi sim for my phone, and some miscellany. Verizon's network seems to be the best where i like to go (the mountains of Colorado), but i can get by on T-Mobile or Sprint (as tested with my phone's hotspot via Google fi). But so far every plan i can find throttles after 15-20G (verizon) or is obscenely expensive (google fi).
What are my options? Is unthrottled data even a realistic goal on ANY network? Is my mifi hotspot junk? I'm willing to buy something if i can get it locally. This is all new to me, but if someone can give me a viable option and a rough direction, I'm confident I can figure it out. I just didn't want to waste time on a goose chase.
Thanks in advance, sorry for the very basic post, i got lost in the existing posts.
