Internet options for full timers

We have ATT unlimited Plus. It allows 10 gb tethering. It's not cheap, but it works very well. There is no additional equipment needed. It's unlikely you would use more than 10 gb in a month for a business. It's streaming that eats up the data. We used this in Canada and Alaska this summer with very good results.

We use an average of 12-18 GB bandwidth per month. What really upsets me is that much of that bandwidth goes to videos/ advertisements various websites use. Forget about getting news from any source without more bandwidth for their videos than actual news.......

You need to use Ad Blocker and a Flash Control extension to block videos from playing. There are a lot of different extensions out there that will accomplish that for you - - just depends upon the browser that you use.

For Full Time in a RV, there is no such thing as high speed Internet, that is available in S&B.

I get 25 - 40 M download with my HughesNet Gen 5 Mobile unit.

There are only two real options for full timers. Neither is cheap. Satelite, but equipment purchase is very expensive and speed is close to dial-up. Cell based is a bit cheaper, but depending on service provider and location can be spotty at times. The park we spent the last two months at Verizon was the only choice and then it was only good late at night up to about 6:30 in the morning. Still, Verizon is probably your best choice for consistent cell providers. A jetpack plus an external antenna would be your best shot at a consistent signal.

Not in my case with satellite. Ya used to be with Datastorm but now with HughesNet Gen 5 Mobile, I get 25 Meg download speed. 35 G for $90 and about $1400 for equipt. And it is mobile no having to call Hughes each time you move. Easier than setting up a DirecTV dish.
I don't sell any of this but got one of the first ones. Check out if this may work for you at http://www.mobileinternetsatellite.com/
BTW I also have a grandfathered Verizon unlimited plan I can use as a hot spot.

We are full-time and have 4G DSL internet in our motorhome. There really is fast internet available for full-timers. We have both a Verizon jetpack and the ATT Mobley as we are heading west and not all areas have coverage from all carriers. Hoping the two will give us coverage most of the time. If you use much data, be prepared to pay. Mobile internet is not cheap.

We run a software business with very high internet usage out of our RV. We've had very good luck with verizon jetpacks. We've only found a couple of places in 5 years that the internet was so bad we couldn't work.

Like Dutch I have multiple solutions, two the same as they have.

AT&T Mobley on a unlimited Connected car account for $20 a month

Flashed 3G Verizon Mifi unlimited for $5 a month

A 4Gcommunity unlimited Sprint LTE hotspot for $14 a month

A 4Gantennashop 5 gig T-Mobile with unlimited streaming of services on the Binge on and Music freedom list. $17 a month.

I use a refurbished Sleek mobile booster and directional antenna.

I set it up this way to stay connected in the Rockies where a service will work on one side of the hill but not the other. I am in them now and I hate to tell you but Sprint and T-Mobile are kicking butt over Verizon and AT&T. T-mobile because of its band 12 and Sprint because it is roaming on the local towers. AT&T and Verizon are so overloaded that they are unusable most of the time.

I have been full-time since the first and have not only never been without a signal yet, I have always had a signal I could stream with. Not bad for $56 a month and all four carriers.

I've learned not to rely on ATT or Verizon as I've found multiple places in FL and VA where I can't get signal. As someone said, ATT Mobley, but you still have to have signal.

But really, a 1-year membership to rvmobileinternet.com is worth its weight in gold when going full-time and figuring out internet needs. I even paid for a 1-on-1 advising session with Chris and Cherie (and I'm a geek programmer!).
