We've used the Verizon air card for years as full-timers. We don't do interstates unless absolutely necessary. We love the boonies. We are rarely without service. There are towers all over the place nowdays. However, we would never rely on taking college courses or playing games. We rely on the service of telephone and basic internet. I notice you are in Indiana. If you're planning to stay in that area what is used by most folks there? That's what you'd need to go with. We mainly travel west of the Mississippi. If you stay east, that might make a difference. You may need a more stronger, reliable way of connecting for college courses or games.
