Working while traveling, but need internet.

If I get this job, I will work from home for good. That means I could travel during the weekend and work during the week while I am on the road. My family and I would love to travel next summer to see few different place and be gone for few months.

I need to be able to use internet for my work and it has to be very reliable. What options do I have? I rather have something that I can work from campground, not at places like Starbucks or some hot spot.

Thank you for any feedbacks.

  • Provide your OWN.

    We used Verizon for cell and internet and unless we were really out in the sticks we always had good signal.

    YOU need it.......YOU provide it
  • I see nobody is reading your post any better than I did.

    Advanced search: subject keyword=internet, forum = technology.

    Satellite is your only option.

    You're only going to one campground?
  • Verizon Hot Spot works well for us. Campground internets are spotty, and often you must walk to the office or laundry room to get the best reception. Early morning and in the evening the band width is full from all the guests on line. Finding a Starbucks or McDonnalds is not a really good business like option. The Verizon Hot Spot is not as fast as the home cable, but it works OK across most of the Western USA (I can't speak for the East, haven't used it there). There are blackout areas, Yellowstone, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, but depending on your work requirement you can usually work around these. My wife tells here clients she will be off line for specific days. We can then check messages when we reach local coverage areas, again the town coffee shop, etc.
    Works for us. Enjoy your ability to travel.
    Happy Trails.

    Working from a campground. No way I want to spend 8 hours a day at Starbucks or McDonalds. Mobile phone hotspots will not work at campground.
  • Mobile phone hotspot, McDs, Starbucks.. the usual. Please move to Technology.
