-Starlink is the satellite internet service offered by Space-X, and offers a tier of service [[https://www.starlink.com/roam|specifically for RVs]]. $150/mo and a $600 receiver (or $2,500 for an in-motion receiver) gets you extremely fast internet in most places in the country (Worldwide roaming is available for $200/mo). Although when on the RV/Roaming plan, your traffic is de-prioritized over users who have a fixed address in the area and you may experience slower speeds.

 The catch is that Starlink works best in remote areas and often doesn't work //at all// in cities.  Out west this is usually not a problem, but east of the Mississippi river there is usually too much population density for the service to be usable. See the coverage map here: https://www.starlink.com/map.  This is a good solution for boondockers who set up camp in the wilderness, but it doesn't offer much usability for urban dwellers. The general rule is that if you have a cell phone signal, you're not remote enough to use Starlink and should stick to Cellular options as they'll probably be faster/more reliable. The catch is that Starlink works best in remote areas and often doesn't work //at all// in cities.  Out west this is usually not a problem, but east of the Mississippi river there is usually too much population density for the service to be usable.
