I appreciate the concern about connecting to open access points, we will be using VPN's to connect back to trusted networks, we won't be browsing directly via the connection. There is a mission critical need for internet, I have SLA's with my customers and need to be able to respond if there is an emergency. This is worth us spending several thousand dollars to ensure reliability.
We will need higher-speed connectivity most of the time for streaming video/chat or remote desktop. There is also a need to download and upload operating system ISO's a few times per month. I would estimate 25G/month or more of usage.
We will be traveling around the continental USA. Moving locations every 3 days on average.
I didn't mean generic "I need internet" when I said mission critical. It was more about what are you trying to do and is there some specific need. If you are driving to a new campsite, will you have systems running in the background the whole time or some other specialty need?
Look up the provider coverage maps. Unless you plan to be in remote areas a lot, a single provider is likely the better option than using multiple carriers.
25G/month: Is that a wild guess or have you measured usage for a few months? Streaming video,you can burn thru a lot of data very quickly.
If you are doing cellular, not much need for range extenders in most cases...unless you plan to spend a lot of time in really remote areas.
