Using a Public Mobile Sim for a cell tower antena to provide wifi in a rural home

[JacobOnThePool]

Hello, has anyone successfully managed to build a working wifi network in their home or cottage using a public mobile sim and an antenna system? Rogers offers a rural internet system that does what I just described but they charge $70-$90 buck a month. Compared to a public mobile plan of ~$30 looks like there is an opportunity to save some money.

Any advice is appreciated.

Jacob.

it alls depends if you have the right router with the proper network bands

a routers work for Rogers might not work for Telus/PM.  What router are you using it on Rogers sim?

There are LTE routers out there that would take a SIM card.  I would think that wireless home internet packages would be better priced.  The data buckets offered by this service are pretty generous, however they are grossly inadequate to support home internet.

Rogers also has a 5g home plan for 55$ 500gig at 100mb then goes down to 10 mb after you use up the 500. No contract and free modem.

@JacobOnThePool   The only thing I have done is use my phone as a wifi hotspot.  Bell is also offering rural wireless internet at $50 a month (for two years) 600GB unlimited which is normally $70 but they do imply they could put up the base price but you'd still get the $20 discount.  I was looking at that the other day but their availability test can't determine if it applies at my address although pretty sure it does.
