Have you attempted to restrict internet usage solely to your gaming computer?
This information isn't accurate according to speedtest data. LTE latency remains inconsistent, jitter varies significantly, and first hop transit times are poor.
If you have line of sight with other locations that have better internet, there are options for you. You can use directional antennas to create a point to point connection between your place and the other location, and maybe pay a monthly or yearly sum of money to the owner of that other location to allow you to have the antenna on his land and power the modem using his electricity (a dollar or so a year's worth of electricity) Wireless can work long distances (cheap stuff up to 20-30km, more expensive stuff up to 100km) if there's direct line of sight and the antennas are installed on some solid pillars (or a tree) so the antennas won't vibrate/move/whatever under the wind. There are also radio modems which can work for very long distances with low latency but the bandwidth is typically very low. For example this one goes up to 50km with 2ms delay but bandwidth is only 32 or 64 kbps .. that's 8 KB/s : https://www.omniinstruments.co.uk/radio-...modem.html If the distance is short, there are converters which convert ethernet to cheaper cable (phone line or coaxial) up to 1000m : ethernet to vdsl2 : https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-110V...002CLKFTG/ up to 2400m : ethernet to coaxial : https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-EOC1...00AMCKN80/ at most, there are ethernet to vdsl adapters, which can convert ethernet to work on two copper wires.
Caps and overages apply, though there’s a data limit that triggers packet dropping if you exceed it. As a T Mobile user, rural coverage is extremely limited at best. Driving 10 miles south from my home leaves me without service. T Mobile performs well in the city, but outside that range it’s poor. Personally, I’m in the metro Detroit area and have reliable service there. The main options for others seem to be Verizon—whose network is struggling with unlimited plans—or AT&T, which has a reputation for unreliability.
I meant most, not everyone. Verizon says LTE works for 99% of locations, which suggests roughly 3 million people still lack that service. How many of those 3 million rely on a WISP? I’m not sure. Considering this, the majority likely remain with alternatives besides satellite. You also have the choice of a T1 line—though it’s costly and slower now, it connects almost anyone with a functional phone line and outperforms satellite or dial-up.
Just because you have coverage doesn't guarantee quality. Verizon is facing network problems after reintroducing unlimited data. Many complaints about slow speeds are common. Don't rely solely on what carriers advertise. T Mobile says New Boston Mi works, but it seems to be a myth. I checked AT&T's website to compare prices and found only limited options like scalable fiber internet. Some sites claim T1 connections cost $200 to over $1000 monthly. It makes me wonder if AT&T has stopped offering T1 services in favor of LTE and fiber, or if you need to call for more details.
Varies by location. LTE offers quicker speeds and less delay than older cable connections. The top options are Telus Mobility (LTE) with 28ms ping, Telus DSL at 6ms, Telus LTE at 17ms, Verizon via office WiFi at 78ms, Telus LTE at 28ms, Shaw Cable at 11ms, and Shaw at 10ms. Turning off LTE increases ping to over 50ms. This remains far better than satellite delays.
