Connecting to cell networks is an increasingly viable option—here’s how it works.
For many of us, especially in rural areas, broadband speeds over cable or DSL (or heaven forbid, satellite) aren't as reliable or as fast as we would like—if they're even available at all. But the increase in speed and capacity of 4G LTE (and now 5G) networks has opened up another option.
Traditional hurdles that made this less than an ideal solution—data caps, expense, bandwidth, coverage, compatible hardware—are slowly becoming less of an issue as the technology improves, and it's now very possible to switch completely from standard broadband to 4G LTE broadband—with a few caveats and conditions.
