I have Tomobile one, which allows 512KB unlimited hotspot
i upgraded to tmobile one PLUS , for 10$ more, which gives you voice mail text messages, and gives 10gb Hotspot, then unlimited 512KB.
you are saying there is even something better? <3


Yes.

T-Mobile One Plus International includes all the same features as T-Mobile One Plus, as well as Stateside International Talk and unlimited highspeed tethering for $25.

so $10 for 10GB. $25 for unlimited tethering, they do deprioritize at 50GB of usage which is head and shoulders better than any other wireless provider who do it around like 25gb.

It would only matter if the nearby tower is swamped they might put you at the end of the line, but if that tower isnt busy you would notice no effects.

Source: I tethered 90GB in a month and it was fine, it might have slowed down a bit after 50GB during peak traffic times when people got home from work between 6-9

I've installed comcast without ever calling them, OR having anyone come to my home.
As long as the home was wired for it.


PS T-Mobile offers unlimited hotspot for $25(Extra) a month if you have T-Mobile ONE




...and as long as it was not unhooked at the pole. Which Comcast started doing around here anyways...about 2-3 years ago.

Op can plug in his shit and try to activate himself.
Then he'd know for sure if tech is needed.

I'd refuse to pay the fee tho. Expect to spend 2 hours on the phone tho lol

Yeah, I hate calling Comcast for the few friends that ask for help. I have Verizon which is much better.

If I got a self install kit from let's say bestbuy....
Is there any type of hint or notification of what internet isp it's hooked up for ? That way it would be as easy as just calling them and be like hey this is my info I need service turned on??

I don't want to buy a kit, and be clueless .

I don't know why you just don't call them. It's usually a free install. Just get grandma out of the house for a day.
