One of the challenging aspects of mobile life is reliable internet. Back in the early 2000's using dial up at the Park office was about as good a connection as you could get. I was a beta tester for the MotoSat DataStorm mobile satellite antenna using HughesNet and thought I had the world by the tail. I could get about 1Mbps down and 300Kpbs up. As the years rolled by, parks began installing WiFi systems but they were slow and frequently unreliable. I supplemented by DataStorm with a cellular modem. With the increased availability of 4G, I found that I was getting faster speeds fro the cellular modem than the DataStorm but I continued to use both supplemented by an EnGenius external router/antenna to give me the best shot at WiFi that I could find.
The limiting factor are speed and daily/monthly bandwidth limits. If cost is no object, there are mobile satellite systems available with high speeds and large data caps but they are not priced at typical consumer prices since they are oriented toward businesses. Head over to DataStormUsers.com if you want more information of satellite systems available. If you are typically in areas where 4G is available, Verizon offers data plans up to at least 100GB/month. I have only been to one RV Park where I had truly great WiFi service. Most Park WiFi systems will choke on VPN.
