Need internet advice
I'm a relatively new RVer and was kind of forced into the situation. I won't bore anyone with any of the insane year long details that have lead up to this point; let's just say through some miscalculations I was screwed by someone I had trusted.
Me and my family (wife and 2 kids). Are currently living in an RV over in Palmer, Alaska in an RV park. My main job is actually from home, I don't make a whole lot of money per month; $10.50/hr. But it allows me to be close to my family, saves on gas and allows us to have some freedom to do things with the kiddos more often. The problem I'm having currently though is internet.
As many long time RVers know, the internet at most RV parks is absolutely abysmal. If they aren't using domestic routers, they're using domestic wifi extenders and sufficiently poor internet plans. It's just something as an RVer I guess we've come to some what expect and just hope eventually they'll get a clue to start upgrading.
Because I work from home I use about 2GB of data a day at minimum, talking on the phone, video conferencing, downloading various files for inspection and uploading data to servers. I for the life of me, just can't seem to find a reliable way to get internet to this little RV. I'm at a loss, I've spent weeks on this problem and it's starting to look like I may have to give up the job I've held for 3+ years and love. Just because of internet.
Can ANYONE out there offer any advice on anything I can do for internet out here that's at least going to give me 2mbps download (so I can work). For a reasonable price?
The cheapest thing I could find would end up costing me $700/mo at minimum for the amount of data I use. It's just insane we still have data caps in 2015.
