We've had Verizon for over twenty five years - now on the 'senior' plan for like $30/phone, unlimted data. (They figure old people are not online 24/7 I guess). One of the kids even came back and got on our plan.
Wife said she'd go anywhere in the RV as long as she could get data. We spent the last two weeks living and traveling, four states, and nearly ZERO data the whole trip. Great cell, calls and texts, but data is so slow as to be unusable. Wifey says I flunked the test. LOL
One park we were in, and we've seen this elsewhere - some residents have cellular receiver antennas, like a dish on a tall pole, and as soon as they turn those on they suck up ALL the bandwidth. We may as well have none. Maybe we need one of those. The 'hot spot' wifi isn't the problem - it's the cellular data throughput on the signal.
Then I just found out Verizon is the 'old standard', uses old tech, and ATT and T-Mobile have newer protocols and more coverage, so we're suck with the dud. I'm so disgusted I could scream.
So StarLink is looking like the best option. And yes, the 'RV' service is now available, and you can turn it on or off by the month if you're not using. it. Once I actually retire we'll surely get one of those dishes.
In the meantime, Verizon cellular completely sucks. And 'RV park wifi' may as well be non-existent as well. Worthless.
