I Have UNLIMITED Home Internet For CHEAP! $25 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot Data Wifi - CUT THE CORD

NEW I've just opened a merch shop! If there's anything you'd like to see there in addition to the currently limited lineup, drop a comment on my latest video and let me know! shop.spreadshi... NEW: A link to my boring Facebook page! / cynicalmikey In this video, I will show you how to get unlimited internet for home, traveling, vacationing, working, or anything else for only $25 per month!
The first step is to sign up for Visible Wireless. Using the Party Plan, you can have access to unlimited talk, text, AND data with mobile hotspot capability for only $25 per month.
The second step is to get a travel router. You can go cheap for under $30, but remember that the better the capabilities and size of the router, the farther the reach will be to connected devices. In this video, I will use the Rav Filehub for which I paid $20 (details in the video for how I got it so cheap) and show you how to connect it to your Visible Wireless mobile hotspot to connect all of your devices to the internet.
Rav Filehub as shown in video: amzn.to/2UOGYjZ

Just a little correction: Your speed shouldn’t necessarily halve going from one AP to another if they’re close by, but your PING WILL suffer. The best way to get around that is to connect your phone to your computer with USB, and then share the USB connection to the hotspot with ethernet from your computer TO your hotspot. That will give you the best ping possible but it will be shit compared to an actual wired cable/fiber connection.

You could also purchase an ASUS RT-AC68R wifi Router (used for ~ $40), and connect your Visible Verizon cellphone using a USB cord to it and have internet access for all your (wired & wireless) devices, by configuring the router to use the USB port as the WAN connection (see router menu). I have used this setup myself and it works. The cellphone also stays charged all the time. The only disadvantage is ending up with a corded phone, when you want to use the phone to make calls (no biggie). Of course, you could always discount it from the router. The advantage is that your cellphone is always charged 100%.

I had a horrible experience with the T-Mobile mobile hotspot data service. When I first got it, I checked to see if it worked, and I was so happy that it did! It connected quickly, got onto 4G and I was able to access a website and it was quick! That's all I did in that moment. It was less than 5 minutes. Maybe even 2 minutes. I turned off the device, put it away in its box to save the data until I would actually need it. Some days later, I turned it back on, connected, but not even one website would load. All of the lights were on, indicating all was good. I checked the admin portal... and it was down to 2G! Seriously, I hadn't used the device at all for days and when I needed it most, it wouldn't work! I couldn't open even one web page. The salespeople at the T-Mobile store were just shamelessly trying to sell me something that doesn't work. It's impossible that in the 2 minutes I'd used it just to check that it worked that my data had gotten eaten up. Waste of money.

I tried a cheap $10 Rav file hub travel router, and it worked fine. I connected five devices to it with no problem. Visible let you connect more then one devices on hot spot if you have a Iphone, but only one device with a android phone. Why? I don't know. However, you can connect two devices with your android phone. Plug in a usb cable into your laptop, and phone, go to settings, networks, "WIRE" tethering, and turn on. Your laptop will be connected to the internet. Than connect another device to your hot spot.

[@patmahone7095]

There are a few important things you should know: 1) Visible throttles the hotspot to 5Mb which is plenty fast for HD streams but like all cell providers, they 2) limit streams to 480p which isn't the greatest quality on a TV larger than 26in, and 3) like all MVNOs, your speeds can be painfully slow during primetime tower usage because Verizon premium customers get priority.. If you live in a 5g area and you have a 5g device, that does not affect you. For the 5Mb hotspot throttle and 480p stream limitation, I have an easy solution. Get a GL-iNet N300 router so that you can configure the firewall to set the TTL value to 65 to bypass the 5Mb throttle. This model also contains VPN software at the router level to hide your connection to the streaming service providers such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, youtube, etc. If you are using a Windows laptop, Android TV, or any android device with root, you can use any router because these devices can easily change the TTL value so that by the time packets reach the Visible server, they are 64. Unfortunately Roku devices and smart TVs do not allow you to configure the TTL so you are limited to 5Mb speed. Also, smart TVs and Roku devices do not allow setting up a VPN so the TV / Roku device can never avoid the 480p stream limitation. The GL-iNet N300 is perfect for any 4g/5g cellular provider, not just Visible.

@@tinosmo1 Ping is latency, or the amount of time it takes for a packet of data to go from your device to the server, and then back. It is measured in milliseconds. The higher the ping, the more lag you will notice in online gaming. Ping doesn't really affect web browsing or watching videos, but things like video/voice chats and online gaming can be negatively affected with high ping times. The amount of ping you have depends on many factors, like the connection between your PS4 and the hotspot device, the hotspot's connection to the carrier, the server you are connecting to and any of the connections in between your console and the server.

[@-Bracken-]

I do not recommend using LTE for online gaming. I have unlimited data from Sprint and I have tried using my hotspot on my S8+ for my PS4 and PC when my isp was down. Games like Rocket League and Call of Duty were laggy and I had high ping. Even with speedtest testing my LTE connection at 50mbps down. As others said here, ping is latency. The lower number the better. For things like casual internet browsing, social media, online school etc, this is a great inexpensive option.

Get a GL.iNet GL-AR750S travel router, tether via USB and you'll get better performance. If your hotspot data allotment is capped, you'll need to mangle post routing to force the TTL so by the time it hits the cell towers, the carrier thinks it's coming from the original device at a value of 64. That will in most cases require setting the TTL value on the router to 65, or 66, depending on how many hops.

[@YliyahMessageTime]

*In times of traffic, your data may be temporarily slower than other traffic. **WiFi calling available on select devices. +Mobile hotspot speeds capped at 5 Mbps and limited to one tethered device at a time. And the $25 deal is only for ONE MONTH. Such is the AFFILIATE VIDEO sales pitch.

[@tdemaree]

I get throttled 24/7 I can barely use the internet..on the bright side...my signal is awesome! Lol..ya get what you pay for..im sure if u are on a tower that is not congested ur good tho

[@richardwhelms4877]

I have had visible for a few months now and it works great. Yes, they throttle the speeds, but now all the time. I can connect and play xbox all their time and download 30 to 50 GB games very quickly. And stream netflix and others no problems at all. There are days when I guess the network is busy, especially with everyone staying home that it is slower. I live in a rural area and there are no options for internet here at all. I'm going to try this method and i hope visible doesnt cut me off. Haha.

[@richardwhelms4877]

I meant not all the time. Visible has been great for me.

[@missdesireindependance5194]

Did you use a router?

[@debboike]

Which Rav travel router is it. There are a few to pick from?

[@rickygarbaj]

Also something that was super easy was I had one of those T-Mobile Asus Routers lying around. If you have and Android device I was able to Hotspot my Visible service, plug device into USB port of Asus router, select 3g/4g as data connection within settings and BAM. Fully function home Wifi off the Visible device. Data speeds varied depending on time of day but was usable overall.

[@rickygarbaj]

Joe Boxter Joe Boxter My setup was the T-Mobile Asus router TM-AC1900 and a Pixel 2 using Visible for service. There is a setting inside the hotspot settings of the phone that it will disconnect. Go to WiFi Hotspot and under advanced disable “Turn off hotspot automatically”

[@mitchellkauffman6799]

Does this happen to bypass the 5Mb data speed cap for hotspots? What were your high/ low speeds for the day?

[@rickygarbaj]

Mitchell Kauffman 50 up sometimes. I thought right now Visible didn’t have throttling?

[@mitchellkauffman6799]

@@rickygarbaj It doesn't have throttling for cell data but I was told via chat function that it has a 5Mb hotspot cap. But maybe if it is USB tethered that does not apply? Hopefully that is the case as I didn't know about the 5Mb limit existed until after I ordered the phone and new plan.

[@rickygarbaj]

Mitchell Kauffman I was for sure getting higher speeds than 5. I did notice in the evening I would get deprioritized

[@silverrx9509]

My sister is currently using this set up with a mobile router connected to and android Visible phone. But her android phone automatically disconnects and stops charging after about two days of being plugged into the electrical outlet. If you’re going to use this as a home Internet replacement, I’m wondering if anyone has used and electrical plug timer (those timer to use for Christmas lights to turn on and off at certain parts of the day). If so, does this fake the phone out into thinking that it has been unplugged and then plug back in Daily?

[@suffrage4dogs]

As of last night chatting with a Visible Rep, the phones hotspot speed is now capped at 5 Mbps. Can you confirm? Or are the reps just bluffing to try and stop people from doing exactly what you're doing?

[@leweezo33]

I heard Visible limits video to 480P.. Does that apply using ahotspot?

[@rocbelizaire8079]

I stream not using a streaming device but using a smart TV like a Roku TV. I don't think I just might be strong enough for a smart TV to stream, would you agree or would you recommend something else?

[@salvatorelamarca1278]

why not put that SIM card in a Netgear lte modem then into wifi router... of course that won't allow phone calls but u wouldn't have to play around and it would be rigid. then get a sim your phone so it be 50$ a month a guess

[@AchillesWrath1]

Can i use an old netgear nighthawk router and do the same thing? It has a usb port that i can directly connect my phone to the router i just don't know what to do in the settings on my router page.

[@doug1319]

Great video! Thanks for the useful info! I was wondering if you could use the android phone to push the signal to an iPhone on another network then share that data from the iPhone? Use the iPhone as a router so to speak. Or if you need to just get the router? Thank you!

[@cynicalmikey8769]

I think you'd get hung up in that process. To provide signal to the iPhone, you'd be using the android hotspot. For the iPhone to pick it up, wifi would have to be on. And that's the end. The iPhone can use the android's hotspot for internet access, but you can't then turn on the iPhone's hotspot to redistribute the signal. You can't use wifi and hotspot together on the same device.

[@fredc61]

Mikey, I’ve had visible for over a year now, any way to get full speed WiFi, the hot spot from the phone is throttled back and slow. I have the iPhone 7+.

[@benji888578]

This is my question too, I already have Visible and when i use the hotspot it only works in low data mode, so does the rrav router change this?

[@Anthony-vu4cs]

Does visible throttle your speeds and what kind of speeds will I be looking at with full bars

[@kadafiacar01]

Anthony on your device you won’t get throttled but when you use your hotspot you’ll be throttled at 5mbps download and upload.

[@scottmull5036]

Does this still work and can you use a standard home router?

[@jasonramirez1751]

Have the TP-Link and has worked great living in the sticks!

Hi Jason. I just got the TP Link AC750 and I cannot for the love of me get this connected up. I have been on chat with Tplink and I am at my wits end! Akkkkkkk! If you would be so very kind, so I do not have to return this thing, can you tell me how to get this connected?

[@patrickwilmes6482]

Waiting for my SIM card kit to arrive - was on T-Mobile and I loved them, but I was paying well over 100$ a month for everything unlimited and I can't justify that during this pandemic. So I took the plunge, paid my phone off and asked T-Mobile to unlock it.

[@doddgarger6806]

Well how did you come out what kind of phone

[@axllebeer]

I recently set my parents up (about 2 months ago) with this exact setup but with a less expensive $12 wifi repeater. They have no other options other than LTE for home internet, and no options for unlimited. Until now. With this setup they finally have UNLIMITED home internet for $25 per month. Amazing deal.

[@TheStormj2]

what kind of repeater are you using if you can share the name

[@axllebeer]

@@TheStormj2 I just looked it up and it's currently unavailable but I'll post a link for what its worth.

[@stevesealey317]

Same here, only using a tp-link wireless router instead. This has been a real money saver.

[@stevec9669]

I suppose you could use the WiFi capability of your laptop, instead of your old phone, to set up your router too. Is that right?

[@realkevintaylor]

But wait if you read all of the terms it says at least 50% of your monthly data usage has to be on device or we may terminate service

[@wannabefulltimers]

that's the whole idea behind the router device he's talking about. the carrier will only see data usage coming from the 1 phone that has the hotspot enabled. unless of course, visible catches onto videos like these and starts adding functionality to block this nifty workaround of using the router...

[@aaronhartmann7658]

If that's the case, where 1/2 has to be through the phone. Use an app called pdanet+

The router TP Link (the cheaper one) you have in the link does not work like the one in the video. It insists on a wired connection and is very unuser friendly. I bought it and it was next to impossible to setup. I highly do not recommend the TP-link router. I Bought the RAVPOWER it works great very easy setup!!

[@kwokchow1003]

You have to use the WISP mode. I have an older TP LINK router TL-MR3040 that has the same function and it works great. 1) turn on hotspot but do not connect to it, 2) connect to your router wirelessly with a computer or phone, 3) bring up router setup page, 4) in WISP setup mode, connect to the hotspot, 5) router should restart, 6) connect your devices to the router. Make sure the hotspot doesn't turn off automatically during setup. You can setup the wireless security or use the default.
