Working a "normal" office based job remotely for 3 years now, 2.5 years traveling full time, I can tell you redundancy is more important than anything. There's not a 1 source solution. Starlink is 90% of my usage, but I have T-mo (both Hotspot and Sim based) and AT&T (hotspot) as a backup. Starlink is wonderful, and 97% reliable WHEN (and only when) you have a very clear view of the sky. It will work with partial obstructions, but it's hit-or-miss. We'll get Verizon for a few months if we are traveling remote areas that we know T-mo or ATT can't support. Always have a backup. We use the Coverage! App. It's worth the yearly subscription.
[MENTION=29772]A.Texas.Yankee[/MENTION] has great input. I have not had any issues with connectivity yet. I try to find and area with a north exposure that is somewhat open. Our mountain terrain is similar to Colorado's and I have been down in Canyons that are close to sea level. With some tree obstruction you still get decent speeds . So far my lowest connection has been 80mbps but usually see 150-185mbps. I don't use it in severe weather (lightning) so not sure about connectivity in that situation. I can mount it on a 25ft pole on the back of our 5th wheel ladder or, with a 75ft cable and Starlink's stand, mount it on the ground in an open area. I like that I can temporarily suspend my account when not in use during winter time. Almost all of the areas we camp in does not have cell service. I can easily connect my cell over the internet when Starlink is up and running. Why some of you ask? My wife has a few medical issues, lots of rattle snakes and, me doing what man-boys do. When your hours away from civilization, Life Flight is just a call away.
