So we are moving our small office to our Warehouse area in the country. Problem is, we are to far away from the phone company and cable company to get any kind of service. They even told us the cost of the build out for them is to much and they will not do it.
We can work with speeds 10mb down and 1mb up but not slower... and we average 150gb a month.
So we've only found 2 options.
1. Use Satellite internet (which only 2 companies are offered in our area) and their max speed in 12 down 2 up and 10GB for the month. 10GB! What are we supposed to do with this? Once we hit the 10gb they drop us to 1mb down and .5mb up. WOW!
2. We have decent Cell service from Verizon and AT&T (not sure about T-Mobile as no one here has them). I've read that using an LTE Router with a SIM card will get us online. Of course Verizon and AT&T do not have data plans more then 25gb... however the other carriers that use their network do! I spoke with a Cricket rep and asked them about using their SIM with the Unlimited Data plan for $70mo. in a LTE Router, she said as long as it works with AT&T network then it will work. We also found Boost Mobile for $50mo Unlimited over Sprint network (which is terrible coverage here) and MetroPCS for $60mo Unlimited over T-Mobile.
So my first question, does anyone have any other ideas to highspeed internet with at least 150gb data?
Secondly, if the LTE Router is the only way to go, has anyone used one of the carriers above with unlimited data? Any issues? And because our building is metal, is there some type of antenna we can get to put outside to get better LTE reception for the Router?
And what LTE Routers are the best? Does one pickup more reception and speed over LTE then the others?
Thanks all for the help!
