Internet to go

[vraiblonde]

Okay, here's the deal:

Larry and I want to spend 3 weeks this summer RVing with the kids. The problem is that I can't spend that much time away from work. The good news is I can do my job from anywhere in the world as long as I have my laptop and an internet connection.

So my question is: what's the best way to have a mobile connection? Do I have to get lucky with campgrounds that have on-site phone jacks? Or is there a satellite something? Maybe go through my cellphone?

Any suggestions? TIA!

I used my cell phone once when boy and I took our annual trip across America. Got the cable, set up a dialup connection (don't forget not to put a 1 before the number) and I was able to log on and do my online class. It was slow but better than nothing. Other PITA was that I could not use the computer cable and the power plug on the hne at the same time, not enough space.

I'm just sure you would and there would only be 2 people left here.

Here's one forum that discusses the whole thing in detail: http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/8313753/srt/pa/pging/1/page/1.cfm

One instructor I had actually has a DirectWay dish on his RV and uses that to connect. But you have to manually adjust the angle of the dish.

Aircard? I use about 15 of them...

We don't care if you go in the right direction, we just want you to go.

Be careful what you wish for. With her gone, DAVID will be in charge of the forums.
