Hi…I’m trying to help out a veteran of WWII living at the Veterans home in Napa (Yountville, CA 94599). He currently has internet through Comcast, a local phone through AT&T, and a cell phone through some service called Jitterbug.
Here’s what I’m thinking, add him to our plan with a Smart phone that supports mobile hotspot. Then, cancel the current cell phone (can he keep that number?), cancel his internet service, and cancel his local phone. I think this would cut his monthly costs in half.
The only concerns we have is:
Is the coverage good in that area? He mentioned the walls in the Veterans home are thick and in the past coverage was very poor. Can you tell me if it’s better now, is there a guarantee regarding coverage quality? He uses an Apple computer, so I would also need to know what the internet speed supported for a mobile hotspot would be for say an Apple iPhone to compare that with Comcast.
We don’t want to do this unless it is beneficial to him and not a degradation in network performance. This is the main entertainment and communication for an ailing man of in his final days with us. He’s fighting cancer.
Are there any better suggestions?
Thank you for any and all support!
