What is a hotspot?

A hotspot is a wireless access point that lets you connect phones, tablets, computers, and other devices to the internet while you’re on the go. Most smartphones have them built in, but you can also buy separate mobile hotspot devices that connect more devices, have faster speeds, and last longer on a single charge than your phone. Many restaurants and public buildings also have public Wi-Fi hotspots.

Speeds can range from 1 Mbps to 1,000 Mbps in hotspots. They usually have limits on how much data you can use. It’s very rare for a hotspot to have unlimited data, so they’re not great for replacing your home internet. Still, some service providers have good plans that let you use a hotspot a lot each month.
