[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3353236, member: 24583"] I am in the same situation you are out on the lake east of Tulsa using expensive, limited data, slow hot spot off a cell phone tower. I have a friend who is in upper mgmt. with a company associated with the satellite data business. He has shared first hand that there have been and are a lot of things going on in the background with the new T-Mobile/sprint merger that will be coming to light in the very near future with rural central US internet, including eventually replacing satellite TV programs. Both Direct TV and Dish Network have stated they will not be replacing satellites as they die off. I am sure the virus thing has slowed it down some, but he has told me a lot of 5G equipment has already been installed on T-Moble tower locations waiting on the details of the merger to be inplimented and are ready for the switch to be flicked on for cost effective 5G internet to many of us in rural central US. Part of the merger agreement was that one of their divisions would concentrate on cost effective true high speed rural area internet. Yes this will require a special and most likely since it is new technology expensive hot spot, but might be worth waiting a few months before getting locked into a 2 yr contract and purchasing an expensive 4G hot spot to see how this shakes out. JMO I have yet to see any existing 4G cell phone internet that is truly "unlimited" without throttling after a limit somewhere around 20GB/mo. [/QUOTE]
