I just got starlink a few months ago.
Only had hughesnet or viasat as options.
Viasat absolutely sucks canal water.
I averaged between 1.5 and 3 Mbps.
Slightly above old dial up speed.
Starlink, between 38 and 125 Mbps.
No comparison.
We moved from a house with Spectrum Internet to a house that has NO / ZERO Internet provider. (We were told it has Xfinity; it doesn’t.)
Half of my life for one month was spent researching options. We ended up adding to our VZ account an Orbic Speed 5G UW mobile hotspot device. It’s a work-around, and so inferior to “real” Internet. Not happy, but we were desperate.
With real Internet through Spectrum you could leave it on 24/7 and it was truly unlimited. Orbic is basically a cell phone and we have to plug in, unplug, plug in, unplug ... throughout the day. 100% battery? Unplug. 15% battery? Plug in. Rinse. Repeat.
Annoying.
For RV or other traveling it could be pretty good. As a substitute for regular Internet, it sucks.
I just tether from a second cell phone using a travel router plugged in to my solar setup. I use the “senior” plan through Tmobile. Verizon has better coverage but 95% of the places I stay is just fine. I have three cell phones. One for full time internet in the rv, another for full time internet in my office, and the one I use as an actual phone. I have cameras and a “Ring” for the office and RV. Works fine I have lived off grid in an RV going on six years now. The only thing I miss is a built in washer dryer.
I highly recommend a good solar set up. It is great just being able to pull over somewhere and boon dock for a week without worrying about electricity.
Starlink has to be your best option. It won’t be happy if you park under trees, though.
I spent 8 years on the road. Only way to go is Verizon, even tho it’s more expensive
My husband and I travelled back and forth across the southern part of the country between 2006 and 2014 in a motorhome. We belonged to Family Motorhome Association but also consulted the Escapees website for advisement re: all things RV. I suggest that you visit a few of the sites that address your concerns for helpful hints.
