We spend summers away from Florida. We are avid internet users and my wife still works a day or so a week and needs good solid internet access for upload g and downloading pictures and large documents.
It’s been an evolutionary process but here where we’re at and it seems to be working.
Firstly, rarely is RV park free WiFi adequate. If you’re s standing next to an antenna and do a speed test and it’s slow, an WiFi antenna/booster won’t help. And I ain’t paying for Tengonet.
We have Verizon iPhone 8’s which are pretty fast with a good tower signal BUT even with an so called unlimited plan, we ran into throttling issues which made downloading impossible. Weak signals are another issue.
Someone here put up a post about OTRmobile. They offer unlimited, no throttling, data only service on ATT towers for $60/mo no contract.
So if Verizon doesn’t cut it ATT might. So far its been solid.
Now we address signal strength. I’m a cheapskate and I put off buying a Wilson Weboost RV for a year or so but finally broke down this spring and hit the bullet.
What a difference!! Ignore the bars. I do speed tests. Even with a good signal the Weboost usually doubles the speed.
So far it’s working.
