I'm investigating changing our home internet service. T-Mobile has a gateway that provides internet service through their cell network. One advantage of this system would be that we could take the unit back and forth to our vacation home, so we would only have to pay for internet service at the home we are using the time.
One disadvantage of this system would be if one of us is at the vacation home while the other is at the main home. Only one of us could have internet service at a time.
I thought this disadvantage could be overcome by renting a mobile hotspot for the time we would need internet at both homes. We would only expect to need it once per year, for about 7-10 days. I'd prefer not to have to pay for internet service at the unused home if I don't have to.
How have others handled situations like this? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
