Any cheap options for getting wifi in truck for streaming movies/shows/youtube? Without having to deal with constant buffering/taking forever to load a single video like my phone hotspot (which doesnt even work if i dont have good cell service).

Tmobile home wifi. Works great

He's still going to have the same problem if the cell signal is crappy.

Actually tmobile works great OTR. I did tmobile business and it was like 70/month and I never had buffering

Go somewhere with no signal and you won't have any internet.

Thats great man. Have you used tmobile internet OTR? If not you should probably stfu and not give advice on it. Having personally used it in my semi, i played xbox, watched youtube tv and netflix or whatever else literally all over the country with no issues

I've been with them for over 10 years on both w personal and business account. I personally get better deals on the business side. I have both truly unlimited data with no throttling and my starlink receiver with me. So I can speak from experience. Currently TMO is my backup for data.

Depends on what you consider cheap. Though, probably not. I pay under $200 a month and I consider that reasonable.

I got an app to turn the screen off and still play YouTube, with no ads. Lower the quality to 144 and it'll play on 1 bar of signal no problem

nope, just starlink.

Verizon and tmobile have options. Pretty cheap too if you pair them with a phone line. I've heard starlink is pretty legit too but idk if you need to mount the equipment. Could be a non starter if you are a company driver. Stay safe out there.

T-Mobile internet has been great for me all across the country

While not necessarily cheap, many of us are using starlink.
