Any "Real" Unlimited Plans?
Within the next couple of months, we hope to hit the road and looking for “real” unlimited data for internet while traveling. Things might change, but we probably stream/download 50 gigs a DAY. So...
Forum Discussion
I really appreciate all of the comments/suggestions. I am "senior" who only carries a pre-paid cell phone for emergencies. I tell you this so you know that I am NOT up-to-date when it comes to cell phones, plans available, and technology in general.
So, I now know more what I can do when we do start travelling. Being retired, I don't have to have internet everyday. Besides not being technical, I am also not rich. That means that I don't want to spend a lot of money and buy equipment that I won't know how to use or install.
Right now, I stream/download everything through my computer, and then watch via hdmi cable on my 75" Sony 4k tv.
Everyday, I am downloading movies/shows (mostly tv shows). For us, the internet has made the whole world available to us. We watch shows/movies for all over the world-Korea, Japan, Germany, Russia, Australia, England, and Thailand to name a few. We don't mind reading subtitles.
I don't keep track of my usage, but recently saw that I downloaded about 20 gigs, which was a slow day, and I am sure that I occasionally download a 100 gigs a day.
I have probably 12 TB on external hard drives saved up, which sounds like a lot, but probably 60% or more we won't like and will just delete.
When we start traveling, I won't be able to continue as I usually do, but we won't have to worry about not having anything to watch.
We are planning on taking 1-3 months trips, and then return home for a month or so.
I will find one of the better "unlimited" plans at the best price, and then I will just have to play catch-up on downloading when we are at home.
Again, thanks everyone for helping me get more current with what is available.
