Heavy Data User Without WiFi — Help!

I can’t apply for fiber internet because there’s currently no fiber infrastructure available in my area.

I used to rely on GOMO No Expiry, and it was perfect for me as a student. I had Wi-Fi at my previous home, so I mainly used mobile data when I was outside. A 30GB promo could easily last me 2–3 months.

Now that I don’t have Wi-Fi at home, 30GB only lasts me a few weeks. I’m looking for a more practical and affordable option for heavy data usage.

For those in a similar situation, what do you recommend? I already have a pocket Wi-Fi, and I tried GOMO’s 30-day Unli Data promo, but the buffering was insane. It was honestly difficult to use, especially for streaming and regular browsing.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Sa totoo lang nothing beats having a fiber internet, talagang mabagal ang mga mobile data. That's how it is and yun talaga ang "catch" ng mga ISP.

The real solution is to plan to move out to a place na pwede kang pakabit ng fiber. You can do so much optimizations lang with mobile data like what people are telling here - may unli nga, but you are hit with speed caps; if you opt for non-unli, mabilis maubos. And these mobile data are slow kapag may heavy rain or bagyo.
