  • I had 2 mint mobile plans with 15 Gb/month for total 30Gb/mo and I tethered and hotspotted it for 6 months until I bricked an old pixel 1 because of battery issues. Pixels are a lot better now but 6+ hrs of surfing a day is still probably an extreme use case. Routers have better thermal design and much cheaper to replace. I can also download occasional vids, movies and new linux distros onto a usb stick at the library which is only a few miles away. I just don’t have a lot of confidence that a mobile phone can handle it every day many hours for two years. Starting to lean towards mint internet and mint mobile for phone.


  • I bricked an OG pixel 1 due to battery swelling 8 years ago so that weighs heavy on my mind. Somebody is laying fiber nearby but the advertising suggests locking into 2 year contract to get speed and cost comparable to xinfinity. I’m almost certainly moving to another state in 2026 and they require payback if you cancel early. I have looked into starlink maybe $60 home (no mobile) or $100 ish for mobile setup. If I’m on the road that might be an option in 2026 but then I would have to make melon even richer than he already is. A lot of commenters online suggest that google fi’s deal with tmobile provides better coverage than mint but I’m not certain of that.
