Ugh we have no connectivity at our weekend house because
1) DH’s smart phone will not work there, the locals tell us thst only
AT.T cell service works there and he has a different provider
2) we have no wifi. No cable. No landline. No dish.
Having lived that way for 6 months we are ready to upgrade to a connected life.
So, we signed up for 2 smart phones and at.t service. The smart phones were “free” ( the usual bullshit promotion) and yadda yadda, so that is done. We will test phones in a few days to make sure servicevworks.
So now, I need wifi at this house. We do not know which, cable or dish? We do not want a landline.DH would like more than the two dim channels on the tv that comes in. We think a good antannae on the roof will do that, neighbor confirms it worked for him.
Is this a situation where a Hotspot would be a good idea? All I want now is internet, I do not want a landline. I did test out a Hotspot by using one from mynpublic libraruy. The service was ok for streaming. Not fast, and it stopped a few times, but— it would be ok for a while anyway.
could someone please elaborate on Hotspot service? I dont really understand it. it is not from cellular towers, right?
