11. Thanks for the spot on understanding. "unlimited 5G cell carrier"

My constant disclaimer about being extremely Low Tech, means that I don't know enough to answer questions. My cell carrier has a box? that plugs into the wall that I've been tempted to try and because of my recent experiences described above have been leaning more to. But I've seen a few YouTubes about setting up this specific box and it's daunting despite being promoted as simple to set up. And then some reviews have been explicit about what you are intimating that the signal might not be consistently reliable and slower?

Plus, the description by the provider mentions that, despite no contract, the box is not owned, has to be returned if quit on.

One review suggested trying it out without canceling the current DSL. What do you think: I've flirted with paying the $50 for the month of box and going through the setup and see what happens.

I'm an at-home user and don't do games, only the most basic "elderly" user of light email, mostly DU and very few light use news sites, but EXTREME with YouTubes through Roku Stick+ (where I get the YouTube).

Thanks for the insight!
