(Me= vanlife.)

If you have your starlink satellite thing mounted on top of your vehicle, the only time you can get internet is when you are within range of your vehicle, right?

In case there’s no Wi-Fi available, and you’re away from your vehicle, which is a situation that is pretty constant in my life.

I presume there’s no starlink hotspot to carry around(?)

Like it’s been nice to have my Verizon hotspot “Orbic” shitty little thing when my phone’s unlimited data service is slow or spotty but even the Orbic has shitty service sometimes.

I definitely want to abandon evil extortionate Verizon. Please tell me if I become a starlink customer, I won’t be able to use my phone indoors at work which doesn’t allow us to use their Wi-Fi, And when I’m walking around town, what to do for internet?

Please tell me your most highly recommended ISP that isn’t extortionate & manipulative.

    I’ve had a hotspot from Calyx Institute for van living before and it worked great. It’s been a while but I remember their price was great with a payment once per year.

    I have Visible (Verizon MVNO) for $25/month. I put the SIM in an LTE router I got off amazon (open box) for $42.
