This device will provide you with much more reliable and faster internet compared to satellite. Satellite internet is not considered live internet, so it is quite limited. Even if it does work, the data limits will keep you waiting til the next billing cycle to do anything. I get my service from an AT&T reseller for $60 per month. No data limits, no throttling, not affected by weather, no large equipment to install. This particular device allows me to stream Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and more without any buffering. YouTube loads nearly instantly in 1080p with no buffering. I can stream my games and participate in online games and chats on my Xbox, and this device even allows me to work from home. I have a router connected to the Ethernet cable which gives me regular internet like when I lived in town. I go through about 1 TB (over 1,000 GB's) every month with no issues, no throttling, no data caps. I have had satellite and the best package you can get allows you 100 MB per month. Some Xbox games alone (such as Forza or Halo) are over 90 GB's alone, so data caps just don't work. HD and 4K streaming can burn through 100 GB's in just a matter of days. I am partially disabled and live in a very rural area that doesn't even offer regular home phone service anymore, so having the option of true high speed internet at home (which is also mobile) has truly changed my life. I have two active mobile broadband devices, one being this Nighthawk mobile broadband modem and the other is a regular netgear wifi hotspot device. They both use the exact same service. The Nighthawk modem consistently gets a stronger signals and produce a faster download and upload speed. It is well worth the extra money. Just remember to charge the battery before you use it. It can operate without the battery, which also reduces the chance of overheating when under heavy use.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use Netflix just fine on mine...I'm in a rural area with 2-3 bars of signal. And u play xbox games online..just watch your data usage if not on unlimited
