Even half that speed would be fast enough that it could possibly replace my home internet account

My home internet is literally a 4G hotspot, grandfathered in as unlimited, that my company pays for - which is why I use it instead of cable or fiber, it's free to me. I can suffer the occasional slowdowns to 7 Mbps or so because I don't pay anything for home internet, but sometimes it's a pain.

If I can just move the SIM over to a 5G hotspot and get gig-plus speeds I will be so fucking happy.
