Working from the road

Hoping this is the right place to post this..

I will be working from the road for a couple days a week and will have to plan my stays accordingly and internet service.

To anyone that relies on internet, How do you fair?

My assumption is the campgrounds with WIFI are probably slow, possibly too slow for my needs. But, I don't know..

Hey, that's why your here! So I can ask and learn.

We were on the road for 6 months through 16 states in the southeast. We had Verizon 4g service on the hotspot in all but one campground (Withrow Springs SP in NW Arkansas). Verizon now offers unlimited data for around $100 a month.

x2 on the hotspot. But consider that if you are in an area with no or weak cell service, you'll be no better off than if you have campground wifi. Something else to consider. When you pick a spot to stay, ask the campground if a particular provider (ATT, Verizon, whatever you use) service works there. Don't count on the provider maps to be reliable. I stayed in an RV park that showed very strong 4g LTE on the map, but did not work at all in the park due to the surrounding terrain.

Your assumptions are generally correct IMHO. We use our own AT&T Hotspot for Internet access and it works fine in most places.
