We have Spectrum fiber optic cable for home. The fiber optic cable service is relatively new to our area. We get a legit 500 MBPS unlimited data. Before Spectrum all that was available was DSL from Verizon or a Wireless Internet Service provided by Clarity Connect.We use use a Spectrum Roku app for streaming TV (instead of a cable box). We have no landline. We use Spectrum mobile for our 4 cells (includes hotspots), and a Wineguard Connect2 WiFi hotspot (and Winegard data service) in our travel trailer.
Spectrum mobile is pretty reasonable. Unlimited data for $25.00 per month per line plus fees and taxes, totals out to about $120. Spectrum mobile runs on the Verizon network.
The 500 MBPS Spectrum home internet service includes a larded up TV streaming package for $160 per month.
The Winegard data service for the Connect2 device is not cheap, but it is fast and more reliable than any cell phone or other cellular based hotspot I've used/had in very remote areas. It is high powered, mounted on the roof and can use remote area Wireless Internet Service Providers (aka WISPs), as we found the Navaho Nation. For example we got great service in Chaco Culture National Historical Park and at Joshua Tree NP when nobody else got anything. Winegard's $60 a month plan buys 30 days of service with a 10 MB cap, $100 a month ups the cap to 20 MB. The Winegard data service is prepaid, and I turn it off for months at a time when we are not using the travel trailer in remote locations. Winegard data runs on AT&T and roams on other networks too. . Generally the Winegard Connect2 finds service where our cell phones won't, and our cell phones can use the Winegard for making and receiving phone calls over the Winegard system.
I pay for all three services with my Visa credit card.
