Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson My phone has service there (ATT), when I said "no service" I mean't the wireless home internet people like Verison and Earthlink etc don't offer their wireless home internet in that area.

If you would want to experiment with violating terms of service to have cheap internet, what a guy would do is get an ATT tablet data plan which they have for 20/month, you would probably want a cellular-capable, unlocked/ ATT compatible tablet to start the service and get a device IMEI associated with a tablet.
Then get a cellular modem/ router with external antenna connections and a cellular module that can be "worked" to change it's IMEI to the one on from the tablet. Then you can move the SIM over to it and it won't be blatantly obvious that your using the SIM in a different type of device than what they think you should be using it in. ( On some carriers and plans, they don't even seem to care about you moving the sim to another device ). Another option of your scared of terms of service would be Calyx service which is more expensive but it's "allowed" / meant to be used as home internet via an old agreement with sprint. Also T-Mobile has a home internet product , if they won't send to your address you can find a friend,family,business,mailbox service.that they WILL send it to and then just.take.it home lol , they weren't geo locked last I looked into it but their device doesn't have external antenna connectors iirc so you'd probably need.to.mod.it or put sim in other device
Good cellular modules for being able to change the IMEI are quectel and some of the common sierra wireless modules.
A decent cheap starter device to test if this is feasible in your location would be something like the EM826 https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/routers/cellular-internet-hotspot/with-wifi/2-4ghz-only/2-4ghz-mpcie-modem/we826-t2-4g-lte-wifi-router/
These are available cheap cheap if.you order direct from gyna cause I know your a budget person
Still needs a cellular module in it, prices vary depending on speed category and band support, I'd find out what bands the towers near you use and think about what kind of speeds your hoping for before selecting an expensive cellular module.
Anyway you see like tinkerer / hobbyist type so maybe you would like messing with this, or I dunno maybe you want something closer to cable internet reliability then starlinks is probably better. For someone swim who isn't me that I know, it works pretty good enough to keep the plan mainly as a backup or auxiliary use when out of T-Mobile service area that DOES have ATTThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2022-08-13 at 8:02 PM UTCBe sure to check out local wireless ISPs in case one services your area. Look at surrounding homes and see what they use.

Yeah I'll check in with one of the 2 neighbors when I see them out and about...maybe when I move in I'll go over there to introduce myself as the new local Englishman -

I already have snuff not chewing tobacco, and yeah a gun nut buddy of mine is going to hook me up with shotgun recommendations.
He suggested a Merkel 303E as a joke knowing the depths of my cheapness. -

If you see something like this on a local house, ask about it. Here you can find them in a bunch of places, including on cattle sheds (I assume they are doing surveillance camera backhaul).
I used to be with a local WISP, before I fucked them off for cutting off my internet without notice while I was away in Ukraine. I also applied for a job there, and then an internship there, but they never even responded. Deadbeats, arseholes, rude as shit with no business sense. Told me they'd go to court, I just LMAOed and CCed their boss on the email.
My current ISP is a big corporate mobile provider (Three Ireland), I hate them, but they're very fast and reliable for my particular use case once you do a little trick to specify the 4G band you want your router to use and choose the 2100mhz one. -

those are cellular antennas for cellular modems.
the US is fucked in terms of cellular and internet connectivity due to oligopoly. -

It can go either way. The same antenna design works for cellular and other technologies. The antenna just gathers radiowaves, it doesn't care what it feeds.
There are even non cellular 4G/5G services.
In my case I bought a panel antenna, but found best throughput was achieved using the plain stock 4G modem. I didn't bother putting the panel antenna outside though. In the attic works fine for me. -

the design of the insides are maximized for cellular frequency ranges. -

2022-08-16 at 11:22 PM UTCMy phone in a day uses 800mhz 4g, 900 mhz 3g, 900 mhz 2g, 2100mhz 4g, and even, assuming I enable it 3600mhz 5g. I generally turn off the 5g, since I find it is slower than a pure 4g mode, especially in the city.
I have also found it using 700mhz and 2600mhz 4g bands while abroad. -
