Verizon Wireless Hotspots?

Hi,
I am looking for some advice on wireless hot spots. We are going to try living out of our 5th wheel and plan to use a streaming video service through the internet. I am assuming that an actual wireless hotspot (instead of using your phone as one) will provide more reliable and perhaps higher speed internet. Is my assumption correct?

We use Verizon as our carrier. Do their wireless hotspots "throttle back" on internet speed after using a certain number of gigs? I know that happens with your phone. Does the hotspot use the data from your cell plan as an additional line or does it require its own data plan?

Still trying to figure all this stuff out. I am not the most tech-savvy person. Thanks for your help

We used a cell phone as a hotspot for two years with another carrier. About a year ago we decided to try a Verizon hotspot. It worked great until we hit the 22GB cap on unlimited then they throttled us back to 3G. The problem is we couldn't get a good 3G signal where we lived. I would recommend just using your phone until a truly unlimited plan becomes available.
