Wondering if I switched to a 5G plan and used my phones “ hot spot” settings I could eliminate my home internet service. Would the hot spot be sufficient to work on my MacBook and stream Netflix movies on my smart TV?

As I mentioned in my OP - sometimes it shows 3G and other times LTE - I have also tried a 4G plan and for day to day use I did not notice a significant speed increase. However I did not try streaming a Netflix movie or anything close to that.

So if one is on a 3G plan then it would best to set your phones setting to 3G? However if the latency increases isn't that a bad thing?
