Need help understanding 5G hotspots
Hello, I’m planning on starting to live out of a camper for work (tired of hotels and airbnbs). I’m confused on how the M6 pro functions, I understand I need cellular data plan for it to work.
Where I’m confused is most cellular plans only allow 50gigs max of hotspot data, which I’m assuming this uses. After the 50 gigs it drops speeds to essentially unusable data speeds.
Are people using these as primary internet with such low data caps? I can’t even update one game with that amount of data.

that's why theres so many issues once you go fully mobile but want the unlimited data.
a couple options I've found in my research.
1. Starlink. It does work and work well for these type of situations
2. Calyx Institute
Or you can search on reddit for what users have done.
Here's a brief post https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/wzogl1/every_popular_unlimited_plan_sorted/
Its a challenge when you want to be mobile but there aren't that many truly unlimited plans available.
