That makes more sense.
I always use Ookla as well, seems to be a pretty accurate app. |

The only problem with Starlink (currently) is that it must be tied to a fixed address. They say they are going to change that when they can cover the entire US (at least the continental US), but that probably won't happen until 2022.

glad to find this topic... lots to sift through... not sure what to do yet... this weekend Deb and I were at Lake Willoughby in Vermont and had a lot of trouble with connections... the campground offered wifi but the owner (to his credit) was honest about it being horrible... Deb was able to connect and send a couple of texts but I couldn't even connect... the campground was down in a bit of a valley, which likely accounted for a lot of the issue... on the road outside coverage was ok... still not great, but ok... it would be nice to have reliable internet on the road... I work for a large hospital system and sometimes have to respond to "on call" stuff... it would be better to not have to plan around times when not on call... better still if we could work from the road and not have to take vacation!

Most folks that travel/full time and work have several providers. What works here, doesn't there.. Working on the road is tough if you reach for backroads.
I use mine for entertainment vs. work, so At&T has done fine for us. Safe Travels!

They started allowing address changes on the website in late March. My deposit's in, but I'm pretty far south. |

We put our dibs late last year, and we were invited in a month or two ago. I have not jumped in because we have great internet access here. I would say anything north of about the 35th parallel should be working 95% now.

I just bought a MoFi5500-5GXeLTE-EM7411-COMBO router and plan to get a Verizon SIM card for it. It's capable of wireless bridging/extending, which will alternatively allow me to use my Mint Mobile (T-Mobile network) phone with it. It's supposed to support a phone as a USB modem, but they don't have that working yet for the iPhone.
