Internet

From my research it seems the way to go is to get a cellular router and then get a sim card for a data only plan from an eBay reseller that offers a truly unlimited data plan. You have your pick of T-Mobile, VZW, and AT&T.

Right now we just tether our cell phones and use cellmapper.net to plan out where we're staying so that we have a good cellular signal.

We have found a great system from Mobilemusthave.com

OTRmobile changed their plans about 2 months ago. They used to be truly unlimited, but now have the plans limited at about 22Gb and they slow your feed down.

I have had several times my router (their best router Netgear Nighthawk) lose connection with ATT's network. They only have chat Tech Support and you wait and wait for a tech support person to connect you back up.

I give them a thumbs down. They used to be very good dealing with.

Do you have the Link to them??

How much data do you need? Full-time we need lots!
The 5 days refers to how much time is left in the month.

YMMV!

I was lucky to get a Mobley when they had a good deal, thanks to folks here on the forum posting about it.

Before that I used my phone's built in hotspot. With a little bit of rationing on TV watching, I was able to keep it down to 10 gigs a month. When I'm camping I don't really watch that much TV.

When I want to download a large file, like something on video, on campground wifi, I do it in middle of the night. I tend to stay up later than other campers, so I might set it to download at midnight and then turn it off when I get up at 3 or 4 in the morning to pee. Or on an early bird schedule, you could do the other way around -- turn it on in the middle of the night and turn it off when you get up at dawn.

You could also do like RV Sue, and buy a VHS player at a thrift store and buy super cheap VHS movies as you travel around :).

I only use my mobile data for streaming. I only streamed with our laptop(which we connected to the tv) once and it pretty much got a good signal but I feel like if you would stay in much farther camping ground then signal won't be ok.
