Wifi Hotspot Options for Streaming

A big part of my businessl is doing streaming for live events but I'm having issues with my wifi solution. Currently I am using an At&T mobile hotspot but I only get 10GB a month and I just maxed out. There is no other wifi hotspot plan besides the 10GB for AT&T so I need to pick something else or have my speed throttled for the rest of the month which is unacceptable because I am streaming at events every week now.

Wifi is not offered at these events so I have to provide my own. What company do you use for your mobile wifi capabilities?

I'm sure you already know this but the solution is pony up more cash.

You need to talk to the carrier about getting on a business plan; AT&T/Verizon still have unlimited hotspots. They're not cheap but it is available under business lines.

There are hacks and workarounds, like buying a grandfathered AT&T plan or using that car hotspot device they had for a while, but if your business depends on it then I wouldn't mess with that sort of stuff.

Check howardforums.com they're basically the experts on all this stuff.

Get a LiveU. I lease one with a modem for each carrier and have used it for streaming and broadcast live shots. Your lease and event payments cover the data costs.
