• If you have a fixed base in AZ and in Wi then a cell phone to internet/WiFi/HotSpot may be your best option.
• You must be in a place that has strong reliable 4G phone reception.
Large quantities of data (many Zoom calls, streaming television, movies) can make your monthly bill quite costly. If you are in an area with absolutely no cell service, it is game over.
• There are many different hardware options. Pick a product that has external antennas as good antennas mounted as high as possible will give the best, most reliable signal.
• There are many different service plan options. All (?) have SOME restriction/limit. You are typically better to go through a third party Mobile Virtual Network Operator. They buy large "chunks" of network from the Big Three (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) at huge discounts, repackage it and resell it.
One example is Nomad Internet. Not cheap, but it is month by month so there is no contract. Read some reviews. I believe the are currently offering service on T-Mobile.
If this sounds difficult, it is meant to be that way. They do NOT want knowledgeable customers. Buckle up, read up. It will be a long bumpy journey
