Never done this before so have no idea... Got a T Mobile 5G hotspot and could not get unlimited data like the home unit. Best I could do was 10 gig. If I'm streaming something like direct tv with a Roku, will I be able to do a week of streaming and stay within the 10 gigs? Once again, I have no idea at all on how quickly I will eat up data streaming. Thanks for any answers.

I have both AT&T and Verizon unlimited data plans, and it's not uncommon for us to use 150 to 200 GB in a month of mostly streaming.

You will use 1- 3 gb per hour of viewing. High def 1080p, pretty much every tv now , is the 3
So unfortunately no , 10 will not be enough unless you only watch very little tv. We are using 150-200 per month as we travel this summer about 35-50 gb a week. Of course that’s us. Everyone is different.

You can up that to 50 GB for $50/month. I tried that but found that I used the 50GB in 2 weeks so returned it.

Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll just hope I have decent 4G to use my Mobley on instead of the 5G hotspot.

Yes, I also use my wonderful AT&T Mobley for a great deal of streaming when on numerous camping/fishing trips plus I find free wifi is easily available at so many locations just about everywhere so no need to eat up the GBs. I have a running list of those locations including many chain fast food joints and of course Starbucks. Rollin, Rollin, Rollin.

Just a quick update... Mobley worked fine for streaming... good thing too, I checked the T Mobile hotspot and it was only doing .9mbs.

My Mobley (SIM In a Netgear router) has not been performing well at our current location in Vegas. That's why we picked up the T Mobile Home. The performance is far superior. Where we go next may be the exact opposite.
