[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1795104, member: 131855"] No way to know for sure if they will throttle 5G connections but my instinct says yes. There has been a pattern in that industry, whether deliberate or otherwise. of offering some new feature that everyone wants with the catch that it gets threottled back for heavy use. One thing that might help you make a decision about cutting the cable enitrly. If your cable provider has a page on their site that lets you track the amount of data used per month look at the trnds there. Use the internet for a month or so in roughly the same way you would over cell service (stram similar things etc). After a period of time mimicing how you think you would normally check your data use. Some providers even show previos months useage on the bill. Once you have a good idea how much data is used in a month you'll have a better idea what to tell the cell provider about how much data you will need. One other thing to watch out for when discussing data plans: Some plans limit the amount of data that can be run throuugh a personal hotspot. I think that is to make sure that you have a data plan for each device. [/QUOTE]
