Maybe some of you younger punks can help me out.

There's no cable or internet where I'm staying. My Verizon 4G LTE phone is getting 3 bars and working great. I have a booster for it that I need to install that'll make the signal even better.

But using it as a mobile hotspot so I can get internet on my computer sucks. The laptop is running like ****, especially with videos, pictures, anything with lots of graphics. Even trying to do work off of our cloud is excruciating.

What's my best option for improving the internet on my PC? Satellite? I'm reading mixed reviews about that. I need a gadget that'll get me good streaming speeds both in and out.
