Default Sprint Phone as Wi-Fi Hotspot
We will be making 1 week visits to our home in TV until our move in September 2015, so it's not worth the cost to install cable/internet yet.

Has anyone used a Sprint phone (iPhone 5?) as a Wi-Fi hotspot in The Villages, especially south of 466a?

If so how much bandwidth could you get? I doubt I'd be able to run Netflix or Hulu, but could I at least handle routine internet access like this site?

I believe I can turn the hotspot on/off by the month with Sprint, so I'd only have it on the phone the months that we would be spending a week at TV.
