I wanted to point out that for rural America, there is getting to be a widespread availability of mobile internet providers, such as through TMobile, Verizon, AT&T, who will probably provide much better service in the same areas for much cheaper. There are also dedicated mobile internet providers that are starting to pop up in a lot of rural areas that also provide much better service at better prices. If you're in rural America, as I am, do your due diligence. Hughes net may be an option, but certainly not the only option for rural America, as I have come to find out, as I live in the boonies where no cable/fiber/DSL is anywhere close, yet I get great speeds and much less latency with both Verizon and TMobile than what I had with Hughes net (albeit I was with Hughes net about 2.5 years ago). Mainly, I wanted to point out that if you live in a very rural area, don't give up hope and just sign on with Hughes net as I did. Check out all your mobile options and go to a couple of broadband provider websites and check out your options. Best of luck.

Yeah the unlimited data on the main providers is just so great. I drive all over and can browse as much as I want on my phone. But if you want a bigger screen or do stuff on your laptop the hotspot still sucks.
You can use your phone as a laptop with things like Roku or a smart TV and a bluetooth mouse and keyboard but the screen does display a little different on the TV since it's your phone screen.
yeah I know it drives me nuts. I've noticed the interconnect between different devices like laptops, tvs, tablets, etc. is still wonky even after all these years...
Oh well, I've got plenty of time to figure out what to do with my truck. I do so badly want a tv in it though... a ps4 too probably...
It sure does!
