My wife and I now work remotely from home.
We both need good internet access and unlimited usage.

I haven't yet found a good source for internet at any price other than Huges.

Figured those who travel probably have this figured out and hoping to learn from the experts.
Amy ideas are appreciated.
thanks in advance.

My wife and I recently bought into OTR Mobile. We were destroying our data on our cell phone plan on weekends at camp.
After the modem purchase, we are a flat $60 a month for unlimited data on the AT&T towers.
Our current cell plan allows for 20gb of data shared on our 4 lines. We have used 35gb of data on the OTR plan with just 2 weekends of use. We pay $15 per 1gb over on our cell plans, so it is a no brainer for us.

iv been to all 48 contingent states satellite will be your best option for service everywhere. but depending on what cell carrier you have you can do a jet pack for fairly cheap. but its not as fast as satellite it is a bit cheaper and easier though. jet pack is fast enough to stream videos and is more than enough for emails and documents. i have verizon and it has more coverage than any other for digital service. next is att.

If they offered Verizon I’d give them a shot. AT&T won’t work here.

thanks all. good information.
I don't do fb but know some who do (obviously)
I download a lot of 3D modeling and most of the time, I can download at night, ahead of time but once in awhile, I do need instant access,

We have verizon phones and Spectrum internet.
I would switch in a minute even if it doubled the cost if it allowed us the ability to work from the beach or mountains some of the time.

verizon hotspot from the phones is only 20 extra bucks if you have unlimited plan you can use your phone for it first 20 gb is really fast. after that it slows down a good bit but i use about 50gb + a month on my tablet hot spot at home for my internet for netflix and hulu streaming

I have a unlimited plan thru Verizon that costs me 113 a month. I travel for work a lot and often hotspot my phone.

For about $150 you can get a decent cell booster for those areas that have poor to no reception.
