Full Timer Internet (Help me choose)

Thanks in advance guys, here is my situation:



5 Months of the year we are in an RV Resort with wired internet and a router.
7 Months we are on the road in RV campgrounds. The question applies here.



We stream a lot of Netflix and Youtube, often 2 streams at once and surf the web lightly at the same time. I have the Omnidirectional Rooftop Antenna with 4G LTE / Wi-Fi Prep so buying the router card is on the table. We have a couple of iPhone 10's with ATT.



Given this information I am looking for the best solution.

I telecommute so Data connectivity is paramount for me and I have done considerable research and I am now setting up our 5er after recently selling our Class A which we had A Weboost 4G RV which is the best 4G antenna however it cast a very narrow signal inside the RV.

Below is a great resource and I have found to be the best source of information for setting up for both 4G and Wifi amplification in RV. They have also opened up a Online store oriented to RV connectivity.

The best place to find an internet option and wireless plans for on the road is the Internet Resource Center.

It really is going to depend on where you're going. We have Verison because at one of our home bases AT&T is spotty at best while it doesn't work at all at the one in Kansas and none of the other national options work in either place.

First I am not sure what kind of roof top device you have. It may be fine. We use Weboost. What I would suggest is to invest in a "Good" router running third party (DD-WRT, Asuswrt-Merlin) firmware. A good router will let you adjust setting to allow data to flow much easier and even work around throttling. Then learn to use it. YouTube can get you started in this.
I am in Florida, in the "Attractions Area" and have very, very busy cell towers. I am getting speeds of 46.4 down and 28.3 up using a ATT ($20 a month) Netgear Nighthawk (M1100) tethered to said router. Have not had any throttling. I am in to the 18th day of my plan and have used 62 GB already. Not uncommon for me to use 150-250 GB a month. Also use a iPhone 8 on Visable $40 (Verison) unlimted, also tethered to the same router with similar results. These devices are used as gateways, so ALL wifi connects go through the router. This is not a cure all, but works well for us.
Hope this helps
