Internet

Look at Visible and/or TOGO roadlink. Both off real unlimited service. Add a Roku for TV.

Campground Wifi networks are notoriuosly overloaded so you will likely not be able to use them for streaming.

The solution is a cell phone data to wifi network adapter of some sort. Most cell phones will do this (at least until the battery runs out). Some people call them "hot spots". Some people use the name of the device like "Jet Pack", "Mobley" or "ToGo Roadlink". They all do, more or less, the same thing.

Of course that is only HALF of your solution ! Then you need a cell phone data plan. Many, MANY options ! Some of the above devices are sold in combination with data plans from the major carriers (Verizon, AT&T and Sprint) or other mobile virtual network operator(MVNO).

This is a very hot topic. Search around the internet and you will find dozens of solutions.

Howdy!

There is a very long post on another forum you maybe interested in for internet. The most important post is #1 and you may continue for there.

That's not what I found.

I only use my mobile data for streaming. I only streamed with our laptop(which we connected to the tv) once and it pretty much got a good signal but I feel like if you would stay in much farther camping ground then signal won't be ok.

I have been doing a lot of research on this internet thing and just keep getting more confused. What do you use for internet? We use about 100GB a month. THXS

I was lucky to get a Mobley when they had a good deal, thanks to folks here on the forum posting about it.

Before that I used my phone's built in hotspot. With a little bit of rationing on TV watching, I was able to keep it down to 10 gigs a month. When I'm camping I don't really watch that much TV.

When I want to download a large file, like something on video, on campground wifi, I do it in middle of the night. I tend to stay up later than other campers, so I might set it to download at midnight and then turn it off when I get up at 3 or 4 in the morning to pee. Or on an early bird schedule, you could do the other way around -- turn it on in the middle of the night and turn it off when you get up at dawn.

You could also do like RV Sue, and buy a VHS player at a thrift store and buy super cheap VHS movies as you travel around :).

The best deal right now is visible, you have to have a compatible phone or use one of theirs. $40/mo

How much data do you need? Full-time we need lots!
The 5 days refers to how much time is left in the month.
