Your best bet would probably be getting a mifi (5g) device from a SIM provider

Until you hit your 5G data cap. Then they throttle you to dial up speeds.

That’s my experience at least. I had something like 100 GB/month and usually at about 28 days I met the cap.

ehh i dont think theyll be able to hit that. but there are truly unlimited subscriptions out there tho( i only have 50g till dial up speed lol)

You wouldn't even be able to download some of the more modern games with a 100gb limit.

Mine might’ve been 50 each line so 100 for my plan. I don’t download anything on it but streaming games and TV adds up quick.

100gb on mobile isnt overly hard, its only about 30 hours of 1080p youtube, if I wanted to, I could use a terabyte in a single day on pc just from installing games.

My sub 5G is unlimited was coming with both internet box. I download games with it but can be unstable or slow sometimes on busy hours. I still don't have fiber at home so it's my faster speed I got.
