People whose income depends on reliable internet, yet who want to travel almost anywhere in this country, even Mexico or Canada - use satellite based RV internet.
Yes, the recent satellite Internet options available to RVers are definitely worth considering.

It isn't cheap. It is going to cost $6 to $7 thousand for the initial equipment and setup, and between $80 and $250 per month for the service. If you want 2 mps download, and 1 mps upload - that is the high end costs. Most of us would not be satisfied with that level of service in our home. Especially for graphic intensive usage.
Satellite Internet does
not have to be that expensive.
PawPaw n Gram's $6500 satellite Internet system (
RVDataSat) is a "push button" system -- it's an automatic dish. Very convenient, but you're paying dearly for that convenience. And $6500 is the cheap end -- here are the
expensive satellite Internet systems.
However, there is a much less expensive satellite Internet option
HughesNET Gen 5 for about $1700, but it's not automatic -- you'll have to set up a portable dish which can be a PITA.
This is the option I'm going with for my "Plan B" Internet coverage (Plan A is a Verizon data plan).
While the $6500 system is automatic
and offers unlimited data, it's slow as hell (1 Mbps for $80/mon, 2 Mbps for $410/mon).
On the other hand, while the $1700 system requires you to manually set up and aim a big dish, it offers
very fast Internet access -- up to 40 Mbps. However, you
won't have unlimited data, but you have several data options:
The Business Internet Mobile 35: 10 GB Anytime / 25 GB 8 am-6 pm . . . $89.99/mon
The Business Internet Mobile 50: 25 GB Anytime / 25 GB 8 am-6 pm . . . $119.99/mon
The Business Internet Mobile 75: 50 GB Anytime / 25 GB 8 am-6 pm . . . $169.99/mon
The Business Internet Mobile 100: 75 GB Anytime / 25 GB 8 am-6 pm . . . $219.99/mon
The Business Internet Mobile 150: 100 GB Anytime / 50 GB 8 am-6 pm . . . $289.99/mon
The Business Internet Mobile 200: 150 GB Anytime / 50 GB 8 am-6 pm . . . $389.99/mon
