Hello,

I have a customer with a pretty remote location that wants to be able to stream music/video. There is one section of the house that gets excellent 4g lte signal. Is there a way to hook that into a home network? They don't care for the only isp availible. I have explained the cellular companies throttling of service on their " unlimited" plans and they still would like to try it.

I've never been down this rabbit hole and was hoping for some suggestions

thanks
alexsunny

we use MoFi cellular terminals on our yachts.   You can use them as stand alone routers or as a wan source for your own router.  Several other brands do the same thing.  Pepwave, Cradlepoint, Sierra Wireless, etc. 

We go through a company called Net On The Run for the service plans.

What kind of terrain in the area- flat, or hilly? That can make a difference.

I have only called Cradlepoint about their cellular equipment, but the price covers at least two years of service and they have packages for longer time. They said it was to prevent the need for monthly bills when people are on their yachts and don't want to deal with the mundane tasks like that. They also offer service from at least two providers.
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

I had been excited about RevGen/ GotW3, however- they have been freaking miserable to work with.

If they are in the service area, Starlink is still offering beta testing satellite internet. https://www.starlink.com

Check out some YT videos on speed and latency. This video demonstrates the speed, but the latency is kinda high even for Starlink. ?t=344

However apparently there are improvements in Starlink already.

I'm not sure I'd use a beta product in a client install, but Starlink will be awesome in another year.

How about T-mobile at home?
I moved my Dad from DSL to T-Mobile at home and they love it.
The only other option he had was hugesnet and we weren't going back to that. . .

MOD REMOVED LINKS

How come all of your posts seem to be trying to get me to click on links that I would never in a million years click on them.

How come you never respond again after someone answers your question.

I'm starting to guess this is actually spam, and not really sincere questions about the industry.

and the links weren't there in the original post, they edited them in.

i'll bet if you do a forum search using the first sentence of the post, you'll find they copied and pasted the question from another thread.

And now, the links have been removed. One of my comments has been removed from another thread, and one whole thread seems to have been removed completely.

Hey Don, check this video out too. He traveled 1.5 hours away from his home, about 14 miles... how that’s 1.5 hours, idk.

But the interesting part is the public IP, NAT and whatever.

Pretty awesome! Wondered why the truck was wet, then cut to the outside view it made sense- probably why it took 1.5hrs to go 14mls- lol! Blaming the rona for the man bun too.
