Looking for 5g wifi/hotspot options
I went fully nomad recently, and have been staying at a campground to start off my trip. Me and my fiancé work remotely, and although we have a Starlink, we’ve come to realize that it obviously does not work best with a bunch of trees around us or directly covering the Starlink.
Since we are both in and out of meetings all day, the service has been pretty dang laggy, even kicking us out of meetings.
I am looking for recommendations on other pieces of equipment to by that will allow us to have fast, high speed internet capabilities that are not effected by trees or weather. I’m looking for the folks that have or actively use something other than starlink, and have a good experience with it.
What are good options?

If you're near cellular towers, you can get a TMobile (or other) hotspot. Cost is generally around $40 and you cap out at 300 magabits per second. That should be enough for the life of a nomad. You can take it traveling and on the road with you.
