Cell signal availability has came a long way in the last decade, and is getting better all the time. Last summer I did a 4200 mile loop in my coach from Louisiana to Wyoming (Yellowstone, and the big solar eclipse) then back traveling through parts of TX, OK, CO, WY, NE, KS, MO, AR and back to LA. Along nearly the entire drive I streamed music over my AT&T internet connection using the SiriusXM app on my phone, and rarely would I have a signal drop out that lasted more than 15-20 miles, excluding known major cell coverage dead spots in Yellowstone, and Grand Tetons National Parks.
p.s. Out of about 34 nights on the road the only campgrounds (mix of commercial, state parks, municipal parks, forest service in the mountains outside Laramie, WY, national park and even the Kansas state fairgrounds RV park) where I did not have a functional internet connection using AT&T on my phone and my Mobley access point were the ones in Yellowstone. Though a couple were in fringe areas with marginal signal, not fast enough to support streaming media.
