my post from last June and still no problems, I'm also now streaming tv and have a smarthome running smart things, an echo, 5 arlo cameras, and a nest smoke alarm...
I recently moved out to the country in Wise county from the Dallas area and all I was offered for my internet/TV was DirectTV but I know directtv is awful. With the help of google and some of my buddies from work (we are in IT) I was able to get high speed internet for 60$ a month. I'm able to stream in HD and run multiple computers simultaneously with no latency. Luckily I'm on a shared verizon plan, so I just added a line which made it 3 lines on one plan. That makes the price for an unlimited plan line 60$. Before I got the line I made sure I had at least two bars of 4g LTE coverage with my cell phone. I then placed the sim card from the verizon store into a Nighthawk M1 mobile modem ($200-$250), this will give you up to 20 remote connections with 1 gig bandwidth and it's also 5G capable. The key is verizon throttles data from mobile hotspots so you can't stream hi def movies because they want to sell you home internet, that's why you can watch hi def youtube on your phone but can't stream hi def from your phone to your, also at certain levels (when you are above 22GB) your data gets throttled and is slow. To avoid this you buy a asus RT AC68U router ($100-$130) to connect to the nighthawk modem, the router is configurable and you can change the TTL frequency to simulate a cell phone (change to around 65) and boom, high speed, unlimited, unthrottled data. Now I'm saving money on my phone line $20 less a month and paying $30 less per month for internet, if you are in an area with good verizon coverage and are in the same situation I was feel free to PM me and I can hopefully answer any questions you may have. Also, I would like to add, I have a yagi antenna that I thought I was going to have to hook up to enhance my signal but it has not even been necessary, everything has run flawless for 3 weeks.
