Well you basically get three options, verizon, sprint and att&t --- it seems all the "lesser" brands use one or the other.
While that is true, the primary issue with your phone service provider is the people and policies associated with your provider and not the physical stuff.

Re: 4 major carriers/networks
Folks over 55 can get senior plans with unlimited data for about 30 bucks from T-mobile. Not sure if that would allow Netflix streaming...

Re: 4 major carriers/networks
Look carefully at the terms and conditions. It may well only allow delivery to one device (especially the unlimited plans). What you want is usually called tethering
Yes. That T-mobile plan I mentioned does not include tethering although it does allow you to have a hotspot. I asked about tethering and decided I did not want to pay the extra dollars.

Re: 4 major carriers/networks
It is a two line plan and not $30 per line.
Yes, it is a two line plan. I share it with my wife, and it amounts to $30 a piece. I am not sure if there are any restrictions on who you share it with, and I believe on the primary person has to be over 55.

Re: 4 major carriers/networks
My first phone in town was through Virgin Mobile and I had a second number for a portable hotspot that served up to 4 lines. I used that for internet. It was 3G. Big advantage was I could take it to job sites and use internet there.
Let's distinguish between a hotspot and tethering. Hotspots are strictly wifi connections. Tethering can include hotspotting, but tethering also includes sharing your phone's internet connection over USB. That is probably what you need to use to share high-quality video. You might be able to do a lower quality video over a hotspot.
The cheapo plan I have includes hotspot but not tethering. I use it to connect to the internet using my tablets because they don't have cellular connections. I could get full tethering by paying more, and maybe that is an option if I was also trying to get rid of cable tv.
