Internet Speed Test...
I'm at myPlans include sorting through 2 closets and 2 dressers of clothing to determine what I get to keep, what gets donated and what becomes rags for cleaning.
My laptop came for the ride and I've got a Wi-Fi hotspot signal from my phone to get internet.
I've done this lots of times, but today the bandwidth was crawling and I cannot link to my computer in the office to do any work. I switched to my tablet that also has hotspot capabilities and it was streaming along very well.
So, I switched back a forth a few times checking bandwidth with a few services and called my cellphone provider to complain.
My phone has unlimited 4G, but 3G if I set it in hotspot mode. The tablet gets 4G with a 2gig ceiling and drops to 3g... or slower depending on conditions.
For $10 I can upgrade the plan so my hotspot has 4G with a 10gig ceiling then drops to 3G. I can add or remove the plan as needed with no penalty.
I was told it would be about 2 hours for the system update and to reboot my phone for it to take effect. I rebooted and about 15 minutes later I had a 4G hotspot out of my cellphone. The bandwidth was so good it, out performed my Comcast internet at my condo.
Not sure how long 10gig will last if I play a YouTube movie, but I can set it on low bandwidth and see how that goes.
