 Everyone so I'm about to take the big plunge into getting good internet out here So since I've moved out here. This is one thing. I don't have I have the slowest internet in the county I have windstream That's basically the only thing that's out here. It's really slow DSL my house is for whatever meet reason the slowest ever So I want to talk about the plan for getting internet. I've seen people do stuff like this online So I really I want to tell you my plan because I want people to shoot it down and tell it Tell me before I actually put a bunch of money down on this. Thank you everyone for donating those who donated when I You know did a little campaign on this But before I spend that money I want to make sure that I'm using it in the wisest possible ways to get exactly everything I need Efficiently so here's the deal. There are three main things that I need to worry about here Okay. Well, first off, I should tell you the general idea what I'm doing, okay? I am going to be using cell connection LTE the LTE network I'm specifically going to be using the Verizon network to get internet, okay, and there are three little parts of that puzzle There's what plan I'm going to be using. There is the router that I use that converts LTE to Wi-Fi So or you know Any internet internet connection that my computer can plug into so there's the router I use that's number two and number three is the antennas. I use now first off on the antennas Let me go ahead and say a lot of people before we're just like Why don't you just use your cell phone for hotspot implying that like I have like there's also no cell phone coverage out here That's what people need to understand. This is I don't think you understand how remote I am. Okay, like I Mean the biggest city in this county is like maybe a couple hundred people. I mean maybe a thousand all right technically Like this is not there are a couple cell towers in this county if you go out this way I want to say maybe seven miles. Maybe eight miles. You'll get to a cell tower technically It's in a different county and then if you go that way like maybe Maybe ten miles you might or maybe closer to 12 you might get to another tower both of these towers use band I know that both of them use band 13. That's a variety That's a Verizon band and I think that one over there uses band for but Basically, I need so the reason I need antennas some people can just get a 4g router and that's it That's all they need because they have enough 4g just around that router can pick up and they do pick up way better than cell phones But I'm pretty much sure that I'm gonna need some antennas. So I'll start at that one the antenna. I'm gonna put it I'm gonna put it up on this Ham radio tower, okay First off a lot of people ask me about ham radio implying that like I use it I don't know anything about it was just there when I moved in I don't know anything about ham radio to be honest, but I have that tower. It's really tall. So I'm gonna be using it I'm probably gonna install or have someone else install it because my roof is really, you know steep I don't know. I might just hire some dude to help me with it But I want to install some antennas up there now when I did the stream where I was raising money I said that I was gonna get a parabolic grid and that is like It's it has a little antenna that points out and then behind it. It has sort of a mesh grid And that's what it looks like and because I heard a lot of people say oh, that's the best for getting long distance Okay, like my tower is pretty far away. I'm not just picking up cell coverages floating around right here I got to go pretty far. So people told me that's what I need But after I did that stream a lot of people are like no no no You just need a directional Yagi antenna and that will be enough. Okay, like a Mimo antenna It's like one of the white things you get two of them you point them in one direction or something like that So I I'm not quite sure which one of those I should get at this point. I don't know which is gonna be more effective I think I said in the stream if I overspend if I get something I don't need I might just You know end up donating or well, I might end up returning it, but I might end up setting up A similar internet at my church because my pastor really wants a You know fast internet internet. So anyway, that's step one That's the antennas then of course they're gonna be connected by Coaxial cables to the the router that I'm gonna be using that takes that 4g and 4g LTE and converts it to the internet that we know and love So that means first off the router that I use has to have those coaxial connections to connect to the the The antennas a lot of people have recommended some Really good routers that have good reviews, but they don't have those connections That is something I absolutely need and I need to have a router that works on the Verizon network because again That's the only stuff that works out here The one that I said that I was originally gonna try is the mo-fi router it works on they have a version for Verizon It's supposed to be pretty heavy-duty And I've heard good things about it It seems to be the thing that people usually use but other people have recommended other ones So if you know it has again, it has to be able to connect to antennas It has to be it has to work on the Verizon network. It has to have a SIM card slot If you can find one with that that is maybe better or cheaper You know just make me aware of that. I've looked at some others But you know just tell me if you you especially if you have experience the last thing The last piece in this puzzle is the plan that I'm going to use as I said, I'm gonna use a Verizon plan I don't have Verizon right now. I have t-mobile So I'm probably ideally what I'd actually like to do is have one plan that I could use for internet and phone Like I could get home to my house and I could take the SIM card out of my phone Well, actually, I really don't even take my phone frankly that that often But I'd like to be able to use that SIM card for either internet or for my phone I'd like be able to just take it out and put it in either one I don't know if there are any restrictions on that but I actually need a Verizon phone too I don't have one of those and I don't want any kind of I see the thing is you can't just get a normal phone That accepts calls and doesn't have stupid smartphone features on it. Absolutely more on a moronic even these feature phones nowadays They're just gimmicks But anyway, so I need a Verizon plan the the problem is if I'm using this for my main internet I am probably gonna be using lots of bandwidth and a lot of these plans will either have bandwidth caps or you know limits or They'll Throttle you after a particular point. So I have two options that I know of okay Something has crawled up my nose. Give me a second. We don't do video editing on this channel I just want to be clear. So my two options are as follows first off I know that on you to our YouTube. Oh, what's that site eBay and possibly Craigslist Craigslist a lot of people will now a Lot of people will be selling these old grandfathered in Unmetered unlimited Verizon plans for you to rent. Okay, so that's one option I will say if anyone watching this channel who just loves the channel so much and wants to make an ultimate donation You can donate me one of those if you have one if you're not using it I would have to be eternally grateful because that would be fantastic to have Just just because I don't know it's something I it's literally money cannot buy that okay If that does not work if I can't find a good cheap way to rent one of these things or get it somehow The only other option I know of is there's a cut there's a plan with a company called I want I think it's called visible so visible. I think has plans just like this. They're actually pretty cheap I want to say they're like 20 25 dollars and I think they're even targeted for being used like this Except for I think they have some kind of caps or limits at some point. I've heard that other people have used them For this purpose though, so if you've had experience with that not not seen someone online who talked about it I mean, but if you've had experience with that You can you can tell me what that's like what what the caps are what all this kind of stuff like how it actually works Ideally like at this point like I would like to minimize my long-term costs right now I pay nearly a hundred bucks for this junky internet that does not work I would like my month monthly expenditures to be much less if I could spend $50 on less on fantastic internet and on Having a cell phone provider if I need one or I might just not might just not have a cell phone frankly But I might you still use the number for like my landline or something if I can work that out Does anyone know how to work that like have a landline hooked up to a 4g connection that is I'm probably the only person who would want that but Anyway, that's the plan if you see any errors if you see any flaws in the system Tell me because otherwise I'm gonna be spending lots of money very soon on this Tell me ASAP tell email me as soon as possible With whatever you know about this because I'm gonna start doing it very very soon And I want I just want to make it work I want to not have to worry about it want to minimize my expenditures while still having If this works I look at speed tests that people do if I can get this to working I might end up having like literally the Literally the fastest internet in the county probably multiple counties if I can pull this off But again the startup costs are gonna be hundreds of dollars. Hopefully it doesn't get as high as a thousand or something But we'll see Again, I might I might get someone to might pay someone to get up there because I don't know Yeah, my roof is super steep. Anyway, that's about it Yeah, you just tell me if you know anything Otherwise and of course I'll be doing videos on the installation and all this kind of stuff to make it work your while Just because this is something that I know a lot of people I know a lot of people in my real life all over the place would like to know how to do this kind of stuff And if it works, you might even be able to do it under maybe even under $500 I don't think it would be that cheap, but anyway, that's it gonna end the video right under 10 minutes
