I noticed that my cousins had something like this.
What model or brand should I get?
Does this model work well?

I'm not, just think they're neat
the unfortunate thing about calyx is they go through a secondary provider called Mobile Citizen just for nonprofits that only supports a couple devices last I checked (I wish they just gave you a SIM but checking bands would be annoying ig). There's this on their site: https://calyxinstitute.org/docs/raspberry-pi-hotspot-bridge but that's a bit hacky really.
It looks like the nicest device they offer has a gigabit ethernet port, and the midrange one has usb c tethering which could work with a pc or raspi as a bridge to ethernet. those are more money but not horrid if its replacing expensive shitty hardline service potentially. $250 extra upfront and $100/yr more after the first year, for the nicest one, compared to the cheapest one
Ah I see. An extra step is a little annoying but a raspi isn't too expensive. I'm looking at the quarterly plans - Xfinity has a cheap intro offer that's only available if you haven't been a subscriber for a couple months, but they're the only option for wired internet in my area and all the other hotspot providers have data caps.
