First the lan line home line. With cell phones that are always in our pocket, the lan line is just another bill. (With the exception of running a business out of your home, I get that.)
Next cable/sattelite/whatever TV. Between netflix, amazon prime, and a plethora of other options, who needs it?
Now I've been forced into hunting broadband internet options relying on cell networks. My home is on a private road in the country. Without spending the coin or opening a business account with Comcast, I have no options for a wired broadband internet solution.
I was using 4gcommunity, which was a very cheap non-profit organization that provided you with a wifi hotspot and literally unlimited data. This worked for a while, but the speeds were severly limited in my area, and they recently went out of business.
Just switched to T-mobile one. 2 lines for $120 a month, and 50gb for each line, then deprioritized but not necessarily throttled. I opted for the international plan on mine which gives unlimited 4g tethering as well. It serves all our needs for streaming, gaming, ect. In games, when looking at the ping you wouldn't be able to pick it out from the rest. Download speeds are slow by today's standards, but I never needed more than 20mb/s anyway.
I'm wondering how long before the cellular network reaches a point where it can handle the high loads, and even wired internet becomes a thing of the past.
