Best internet solution for 2018?
I am looking to get the best mobile internet plan possible for our USA roadtrip in the lower 48 states. We'll be working part-time so we'll need it to be halfway decent. I was planning to get a hots...

Several years ago I installed a Pepwave BR-1 LTE modem/router and two Wireng BoatANT antennas and I've had constant connectivity since then. Right now I'm in a state forest and the nearest cell site is far enough away that the signal level is fairly low and the site gets overloaded but it does work. Phones don't get a usable signal here.
The BR-1 also does wifi as WAN so if CG wifi is workable I can use it.
This is NOT a cellphone "booster." The phones can of course use wifi from the BR-1 and if I absolutely must yak on the phone I use Viber (a voip app), and Skype could be used.
Remember, not only do you have to receive a signal, you have to transmit a signal back to have a connection. What usually fails is the client cell or wifi transmitter simply doesn't have enough power or antenna for the site to hear the client.
The BR-1 and antennae cost about $700 several years ago. It's obviously not inexpensive but unless you're always near major highways or near cities cheap isn't going to work.
I have a Verizon plan with 24 gigs data, not the "unlimited" plan.
