Imthabawse Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Hello OsBot community! I am currently in the process of becoming a new homeowner (first time) and it's in a more rural part of town (in the sticks). My current internet provider (Frontier Internet) does not reach my new location just yet but HughesNet and Viasat satellite internet do. Was wondering if anyone out there uses one of these providers and what their experience has been with them. If you could also add what package you have with said company in your reply that would be great! Thanks in advance for replies! - Imthabawse Edited June 14, 2019 by Imthabawse
Greengo Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 your best bet would be to try and find a mobile hotspot with a cell phone

Greengo Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 yeah but there's some worth trying like boost mobile you can get 4 lines for 100$ a month atm and comes with 30gb hotspot each youll be able to connect as many things as you need to and have cell phones good deal xd ut goodluck im getting above, they also sell internet card's might be worth trying 50$ for 50gb

Seems as though I'm stuck getting satellite internet and hoping for the best.

Yeah looked it up and found this off google: Straight Talk is a type of carrier known as an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator), which means that it doesn't run or own a wireless network. Instead, it purchases the right to use towers from AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint.
