Taking a road trip temporarily or fully embracing the RVer lifestyle is a great way to get away from the stresses and strains of life in urban or suburban areas. However, if you wish to stay connected with the outside world or if you plan to work remotely while traveling the country, you will need reliable RV WiFi plans to keep you covered no matter where you roam.

While it is technically possible to survive off free WiFi hotspots that you can track while on the road, this will not be the most consistent form of Internet access. If you are on the road for long stretches of time, you may not be able to make it to a free hotspot when it is most convenient. You will need a powerful Internet company that can also serve as a reliable rural Internet service provider when you reach highly remote areas.

Two of the best RV Internet options for finding coverage in highly remote rural areas include satellite Internet from companies such as HughesNet or Viasat and mobile/4G Internet from companies such as UbiFi. Satellite Internet companies use satellites orbiting the Earth to send Internet signals nearly anywhere in the world, while mobile Internet companies like UbiFi use cell towers throughout the entirety of the country to achieve the same effect within the United States.

Both options perform well and provide high-speed service, but they come with their own advantages. For example, mobile Internet providers like UbiFi can provide service with much lower latency than satellite Internet because the distance between cell towers in rural America and RVs is much smaller than the distance between RVs and satellites in outer space.
