I'd be interested to know if anyone uses their phone hotspot for streaming video.

Where I am in Tuftonboro there isn't any high speed internet (cable) available. It's all around me but being the only home on top of a hill they won't bring it up. I've talked to various suppliers over the years but they won't do it.
I have direct TV and satellite access is available, Hughes Net or some other, but I haven't heard good things about it considering what it costs.
DSL isn't available to me either.
So, I use my ATT unlimited plan cell signal through a hot spot. I have 2 lines each with 15 GB hot spot for a total of 30. Even with this, streaming video along with our regular everyday use would eat that in a month. We tried it early on and after my wife watched some episodes of her favorite shows, I could see it wasn't going to work. Sometimes we do it or just cast the video from phone to tv using just the data plan without hotspot. Quality suffers a little bit but she gets by with it.
Have to keep an eye on usage and sometimes have to back down towards end of billing cycle.
