Suggestions on Internet.

Just bought a place out in the sticks with no internet capability. There is no LOS systems that can be seen. Only thing is Hughsnet and I was not a fan from a long time ago. Anyone have any suggestions on hot spots, Jetpacks through Verizon or any other carriers? Any input would be great.

If theres no towers for the amplifiers/repeaters to hit... wont make much sense buying amplifiers/repeaters

See if you can get ATT DSL. It comes through your phone line, I think. Ditched the LOS a year or more ago, and I can see the dang tower. I have wifi around my acre and its strong enough to get amazon movies.

Tried the satellite stuff and it was just too dang slow plus EXPENSIVE!!! I cancelled it a year early. We just use AT&T hot spots and they always work and are much less expensive and are plenty fast for us... If you have cell reception, you can get a Wilson Electronics signal booster that will keep you connected pretty much all the time. I had terrible cell reception in Kingwood and after Ike, when I put on a new roof with TechShield, I had NO reception... after adding the booster, I had better reception inside my house than outdoors.

EDIT: just to clarify, we are out in the sticks now too and the cellular hot spots have given us the best service we have tried. FTR, we cancelled Excede Satellite service... 20GB + Liberty plan/month... over $150/month and it was slow plus heavy clouds...nuthin'... No thank you!

Hot spot is the way I am leaning as we don't do Netflix although I do like to stream music videos on occasions with You Tube. I just didn't know how much Data I would need to do the hot spot thing. We have shared 3 gig between the wife and I and that seems to go fast. Still researching. I hear unlimited is not really unlimited as they squeeze them down to where they crawl but that is just what I heard.

Any comparison from ATT to Verizon on Data?

we just got the Verizon home hot spot thing with 10 gb (they have 10-20-30gb plans)
I think its about 80-90 a month works great so far. it has a good wifi signal that I can pick up in my shop.
I would say which ever service is better at your house is what I would go with.

Stay far away from satellite services!
