Notes:
- Hotspot speed for Visible Plus is capped at 10 Mbps = 1.25 MB/s.1
- US Mobile AT&T plan throttles hotspot to ~600Kbps = 0.075 MB/s after 200GB.1
- Hotspot speeds are typically identical to plan line speed, except where capped as noted.
- Starlink does not provide a conventional "hotspot" as with cellular plans; whole router/tablet/laptop shares satellite data. 23
