So I will be living in the RV full time and will b e working 8hrs a day via the internet. I have looked at alot of things on the internet and im still at a loss on whats the best option for me, i am thinking of just using my phone for hotspots and see how that works, but does anyone have a better idea for a solution?

I'm not trying to be rude, but with about ten thousand other people besides you deciding to do the same thing this year, I think we're all getting tired of seeing this exact same question.Please do a search. You will find lots of threads discussing the same thing.

If you are traveling, finding locations with good reception regardless of what equipment you have, will always be an issue.

The wife purchased a small device called a hot spot, both for the laptop and the cell phone, what amazed me was the phone connection in Colorado in the middle of the mountains on the way to Durango and she is confirming the reservation for the RV park, that's power I never expected that!navegator

Use a dedicated hot spot device or use your phone as a hot spot. Figure out which is cheapest with the cellular plan that you have or search for other cellular plans. The "unlimited" plans generally have data caps that may result in reduced speed.

Good luck on finding that kind of a "totally unlimited" plan for your phone(s).I think that the new upcoming low Earth Satellite Systems may be the (only) answer to both unlimited data combined with no throttling to below broadband speeds. ;)
