Mobile's Unlimited Wireless Internet

Nowadays, we're used to internet connectivity everywhere. In lines at Mcdonald's? You can sign in to their WiFi. In a bar? It is possible to access their Unlimited Wireless Internet. I was through Japan in the summer of 2008 and found that one of the smaller tourist towns offered public WiFi to connect to for tourists. So what I'm trying to say is that the internet and WiFi are everywhere, and we are using this at an incredibly fast pace, especially at home.

Accessing the internet in your home is now the norm, and it's becoming a requirement and not a right. In reality, the other day, my best friend was at my new place initially. And she did exactly what everyone else does when they are visiting a new house asking for my username and password. Although I use social media, just like the rest of the millennials on the planet (maybe even more), I couldn't give her my WiFi name and password as I don't have a home internet connection.

You may be asking yourself, "But SHERRI! How can you survive without an internet connection? !" Well, let me explain how. I utilize my mobile hotspot and internet-connected device, and you'll be surprised to learn that it works as well and is much less than the cost of home internet. Due to the price and convenience of the hotspot on my phone, I believe that everyone should get rid of their internet at home and use the mobile hotspot. This guide will assist you in accomplishing that.

The internet at home might get jealous in a moment, but you'll save lots of money by when you switch to an internet hotspot on your mobile.

What exactly is a Mobile Hotspot

What exactly is a mobile hotspot? A mobile hotspot is a feature that your phone can activate that permits others to be connected to the internet or data supply via your cell phone carrier. In my instance, AT&T. It's sharing the mobile data in your cell phone plan to other devices.

Mobile hotspots vary with every plan and carrier. There's a chance that you already have one; however, it's likely that it's only compatible with 3G data or is slower. Therefore, before cutting the virtual home internet cord, ensure you have a hotspot for mobile on your plan with high-speed internet or upgrade to a plan which offers it. To use a hotspot, you'll also require an Android phone that is hotspot-ready.

How do I connect to an Internet Hotspot?

This AT&T graphic demonstrates how a hotspot works.

• When you are ready to turn on your hotspot network, make an account name and then set up the password (just as you would for your internet connection at home).

• Connect the WiFi to the device you wish to join the web.

• Look for the name of the hotspot and then enter the password.

My Experience with a Hotspot on the My Home Internet

In the past few months, I've moved from a place with internet access to living in a house without internet. My new roommates claimed they connected to their hotspots anytime they wanted to connect their computer to the internet. At first, I thought they were crazy. Who would think this? But I decided to test it out to see how it went. Six months later, I'm completely sold! We are located within South Orange County, CA. This, according to normal standards, is very expensive. And when you consider the other bills I'm paying, it makes a lot of sense to just pay my cellphone bill.

I'm on my family's mobile, AT&T's UnlimitedPlus Multi-Line plan. It includes the capacity of 10GB for high-speed hotspot access before slowing down to 128kpbs. Since 128kpbs is extremely slow, I have to monitor my hotspot use more closely than my internet had. But there are some actions I take to reduce my usage:

1. I utilize the unlimited high-speed data available on my phone for streaming Hulu, Netflix, other music streaming sites, and entertainment.

2. I only connect my devices to my hotspot only when necessary. For example, if there are guests over and would like to play something with a screen larger than the screen of my iPhone X, I'll connect my smart TV to my hotspot.

3. Now and then, I'll plug my laptop into my hotspot whenever I'm at home or send emails I prefer not to send via my mobile.

4. We own the Amazon Echo that we connect to our wireless hotspots when we want to play music (but apart from that, our gorgeous Alexa is essentially an object of paper).

Using my mobile hotspot using this method, I've never been unable to access high-speed hotspot connection data. It's therefore 100% feasible for you to accomplish similar if your hotspot requirements are minimal.

The Money I Save

The family package (AT&T Unlimited Plus Multi-Line) costs $245 a month. The cost is split across seven individuals (yes, I'm a large family), which means I cost $35 per month for 10GB hotspot usage and Unlimited high-speed internet.

If I could get home internet for $60/month, which is split between my two roommates and me, I'd pay an additional $20/month on top of my monthly cellphone plan. This means I'd save $240/year just by using my hotspot.

Hotspot Benefits

• Much less expensive than the home internet and a mobile phone plan

• Easy to utilize

• You can use it wherever your devices require access to the internet

• You do not need to install anything at home (like an internet connection or modem)

Hotspot Con

• Not recommended for those who make use of an excessive amount of data

• Hotspot data isn't always unlimited.

• You may need to switch plans or carriers to get hotspot service

• It's hard to make use of necessary internet devices such as Google Home or Amazon Echo

• Do you require a mobile with a hotspot feature?

Hotspot Savings

Based on USA Today, the typical household spends about $60 a month for home internet and between $30 and $60 for cell phone services. You'll be paying between $90-$120 per month for everything you need for your internet, data, and mobile phone needs. This is a significant amount of cash. However, it's possible to connect to a hotspot as your internet connection at home, and you want to pay for it. At the higher end, you'd be paying just $85 per month for 20GB of hotspot internet data. That's a lot of data, and you'd save as much as $35 per month (potentially greater than 2x the amount).

Let's Talk Talk

If you're a person with low internet requirements and are perfectly content streaming videos from your mobile phone, then using an internet hotspot to connect to your home internet is a good idea. The monthly costs will decrease, and you'll be able to relax knowing that you pay only for what you actually consume.

The idea of ditching your home internet in favor of mobile hotspots isn't an option for every person. If you're an avid gamer, eliminating your home internet isn't a good idea since you'll surely be short of high-speed hotspot use. If you have relatives living at home but don't own phones yet and cannot access a hotspot, it's best to stick with the internet at home.
