Those of y'all that use your cellphone for a hot spot

My wife and I generally use about 1GB per day. We only occasionally stream a movie or some TV but we use a lot of e-mail and a fair amount of browsing. With all of the major plans, once you hit 12-15 gig, they throttle you back to 640kb until the end of the month and that is not enough to do much of anything. After a lot of research I came upon Visible which is owned by Verizon and uses their network. Totally unlimited data and I've gotten a speed of up to 70GB per second, but usually around 25. If you use your phone as a hotspot they throttle you to 5 GB per second but that is enough to do everything that we need. Pricing is $40 per month on the first line and drops by $5 per month for each additional line up to 4 lines. You can only sign up on line.

can burn 50 to 100 gigs a month. Streaming is about 1 to 2 g's an hour depending on resolution

Add to that a fair amount of regular browsing & email checking. About how many gigs do you use? Please, please, please, do not make this complicated. K.I.S.S. I just want ballpark figures. I know, I know... "It all depends on how much you use." I get that. What I'm asking is for a rough estimate if you are a conservative streamer/Internet user.

Thanks, y'all.

What a shame! We pay all this money for Verizon and most places 4g! Here is the T MOBILE
