    So I have T-Mobile in a major city. Whenever my ISP goes down, my normally fast 5G slows to a crawl due to the increased load. So it seems like when you need this the most is when youd get the worst performance.

      I live in the middle of nowhere up a gigantic mountain with gigabit fibre and have literally never once had an internet outage

      WTF is happening in the US that makes outages common?

    This sounds really expensive. 5G as a backup makes sense, but 30 bucks is actual primary service money, not just in case money.

    Make it 5 and I would consider it.

    That’s what the mobile hotspot feature is for on the cellphone you’re already paying for.
