I had no idea how complicated it is. After almost changing cellular carriers twice, I found the company I think I need. Here is what I have learned. There is no unlimited data plan that at some point ...

The plan that offers unlimited (within reason) data with no restrictions on tethering and never throttles is a grandfathered UDP (Unlimited Data Plan) from Verizon.
These grandfathered plans can be purchased or rented from vendors on eBay. The upfront purchase price can be high, but the monthly cost of the purchased plans can be very reasonable.
Up until a few months ago, these plans were considered the Holy Grail for RVers. A few months ago Verizon notified some plan owners that they were being dropped. The dropped accounts were using more than 500GB per month and were out of contract.
Learning everything you need to know to make wise and prudent decisions takes time and due diligence. There are a lot of choices our there and some are much better than others.
You might be well advised to locate an eBay vendor that will rent you a Verizon unlimited data plan while you do your due diligence. You should be able to get these for about $125-$150 a month.
This will give you immediate service for a reasonable fee with no contract while you ask your questions and do your homework.

As far as I can tell U-ville is the only teather option. We have a Traveler Dish for Direct. The more time we spend on the road the more options I want.
We lived on a 43 foot boat and kept it in a dozen different marinas and even back as far as 10 years ago, wifi was everywhere in bigger marinas. I'm kind of surprised that it's not more readily available in RV parks. I am aware that wifi strength is dependent on tower proximity.
We just have a money line we won't cross. The Borg, Time Warner used to offer an unlimited no throttle hot spot but you had to be a customer. I got one on my mom's cable account at her nursing home and paid the bill. Lost it when mom moved. It was 4G unlimited and sweet. For some reason this part of wireless technology has gotten less available over the years.
I've had my Verizon UDP for over a year and it is wonderful not to have to worry about how much data you're using.
And 5 G is just around the corner. Right.
