| RVing with satellite receiver & cell phone internet access
Our motorhome came with a satellite dish mounted on the roof. So, we got rid of extended cable in the house and had DishNetwork installed. When we leave for an RV trip, we just move the dish receiver from the house to the motorhome. We kept basic cable in the house, too, in order to use Cox High Speed Internet while at home.
Currently, I use my cell phone for internet connection using Earlink as our ISP. Our cell phone company is Verizon Wireless. It's painfully slow (14.4k) but better than nothing and allows us to send and receive e-mail. In order to do this, I purchased a Data Connectivity Kit that plugs into my cell phone and into my computer. Please don't ask me how this works...I just know that it does. We looked into satellite internet, but at present it's very costly.
DH and I both have a laptop with wireless capabilities. We haven't had a chance to use WIFI yet, but are looking forward to staying at a campground soon that offers it.
