Starlink?

[357]

So I swapped my Cradlepoint modem/router SIM card into an unlocked Galaxy S8 just to keep Verizon from terminating my line while waiting on the FCC and they terminated my line anyway. I just got it turned back on after fighting with them for 3 days.

I am probably going to sell my LTE gear if I can now that Verizon won't let me use it. I am going to let my in-laws keep the S8 on hotspot mode for home internet for the time being. It's range and speed won't be amplified by the modem/router's 4 antennas but they'll still be able to use it with no data caps or throttling. They have no internet in their camper now so it would be something.

I know a lot of RVers were using iPad and phone sims in those cellular modems with good service. Recently started reading they were clamping down on it and evidently the info was right.

We used the Starlink for the first time on the road Tuesday through Sunday last week. We had to setup with trees right behind the Travel Trailer, but Thankfully there was a 100 foot road and grass space directly to the front which was also north. Got it set up and it said that there was obstructions but we were still able to use our phones and stream TV the whole time. Once in a while YouTube TV would pause for a couple seconds but all in all I would say it's worth it for sure.
