I'm in a bit of a unique situation. My wife and I RV fulltime (mostly boondocking right now) and I work remotely, so I have to have some sort of Internet. So right now I have two different Cell Phone Plans that I use in the US. 

T-mobile 
------------
3 cell-phones (we pay for her dads) (unlimited data they say)
1 Hotspot with 100GB of data

140 USD

Visible (uses the Verizo Network) 
---------------------------
1 Cell Phone that is uesed mostly as a hotspot -> unlimted data and hotspot they say.

25 USD

so my total cost right now is about 165 USD a month. 


I looked at Starlink with the mobile romaing option but the equipment is about 400 or 500 USD I think and then the bill was about 110 USD plus another 25 USD for the romaing option. Then there was the power usages which is about 70 watts on the router and antenna, which is high because we boondock and use solar to get all out power. So at this time, starlink is no go and to be honest, I think I would have the cell bills anyway since sometimes I work remote while we are travelling down the road.  So why pay for startlink right now. At some point in the future I might do it. There have been some spots where we get no T-Mobile and no Verizon. Heck we have been places where there is no cell at all but Starlink might work. 

.... My reality check just bounced
