As I mentioned above, it has a 100GB cap and then it's throttled to 128kbps for the remainder of the month. 128kbps is barely usable for anything more than e-mail and browsing, so you definitely don't want to go over the 100GB allowance. It's worth asking T-Mobile if you can purchase another 100GB if you reach the limit before the month is out. Otherwise if you find yourself regularly running into the 100GB limit, you could get a second prepay SIM, then when you reach the 100GB limit, swap the SIM cards and purchase a 100GB plan on the other SIM. I have a neighbour that asked for help with their 4G Internet connection as they said it was very slow for downloading files. When I tested their connection, I got around 800Kbps (0.8Mbps) here on TestMy. When I moved their 4G router about to try finding a better signal spot, I managed to get their speed up to around 8Mbps. I said that it should be now fast enough to stream Netflix if they want. To my surprise, they said already have Netflix and had no issues streaming but just found their connection slow for downloading files such as kids homework. So a stable 1Mbps connection should be adequate for Netflix. Higher bitrates will give better picture quality with a HD plan (which requires 5Mbps), although I suggest keeping it set to standard definition (480p) if you stream more than an hour a day. If you have an unlimited or decent data plan on your mobile, I suggest not connecting it to the Nighthawk's Wi-Fi. This way you phone will continue to use your cellular plan's data allowance instead of eating into your hotspot's 100GB allowance. For the Roku's or anything else connected to your home Wi-Fi, I suggest keeping an eye on the Nighthawk's built-in usage meter. It shows the accumulated usage on its screen as well as in its web interface. Before heading out, take note of the reading. Then compare it to when you come back to see if it has clocked up anything. If there is noticeable usage such as >0.1GB each time you head out, then either unplug your network devices or switch off the Nighthawk before heading out.
