So, we recently closed on our house, and did pretty well.

Here's our problem. We are about....7 miles from DSL, Cable, and 4G.

Our options are Satellite (Hughes net) or Dial up.

I checked and i have full bars as well as 3g outside of our house (the steel construction cuts the signal)

So I purchased this:

Which is a Mobile hotspot. It supports 5 Connections at one time, and supports both 4g and 3g. We dont have 4g so this we default to a constant 3g, which is pretty stable from what ive seen from my work laptop ( not so for 4g).

I bought an antenna for it to mount outside on a pole.

I understand that the transfer rates are slower than 4g, but i know i played wow just fine tethered on my droid, as it ran at about 12 mb per hour.

This would mean if i ran 5 acts x 12mbs @ 4 hours/day would put me at 240mb per day x 7dys x 4wks = 6.75 gigs a month.

I purchased the 10g plan, and plan on downloading my patches at my parents for whom i pay for cox which runs at about 1.2 mbs.

Will this be sufficient to run all five toons, or should i invest in another card so they wont share the same bandwith, or should i run more PCs and tether our phones. If anyone has a say so on stability would be great as well. I seen that you could increase signal with a coffee can also.

I live in oklahoma and we have crazy spontaneous weather. 70 mph winds, rain, ice , snow, tornadoes, fires, and now earthquakes, etc.. which is why i dont want satellite. I seen this as the only(best) solution to our gaming needs

Thanks
