I'm hearing that video streaming is throttled to 2.5 mps. Have you experienced that? We are FT RVers and most of our entertainment is streamed so this is pretty important for us.

[@I_Am_SciCurious]

Wait… no 5 minutes of watching you drive, another 5 minutes of watching you get set up at a site, 5 minutes of telling us about personal drama since you last posted, 5 minutes of explaining why you need internet, and then finally getting to the content we clicked to see? Well then, you have a new subscriber and a like on this video! It’s so frustrating when you’re trying to research a topic and you end up spending 10 minutes fast forwarding in 10 second chunks to get through a content creator’s self-indulgent exploitation of the viewer’s attention then finally get to the topic promised in the title. What a breath of fresh air this was.

[@davidtotten3042]

Unfortunately, it’s a non starter for us (as is every other cellular based solution). We spend a great deal of our time in areas that have no cell service. For instance, this year we are in our 13th camping spot and there has been only two with cellular service, and they were slow. Starlink has worked everywhere. Don’t like the price, but it gets the job done. I would imagine that cell based would work better back east, or if you stay near major population areas, but for roaming around Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas, nothing comes close to Starlink.

[@howardkettner]

Ditto. Cellular is a no go

[@Ceerix]

@@howardkettner Cellular is only useful, IF you have cellular connection. They always compare apples with oranges. If you don't have cellular service there is NOTHING what can replace Starlink. I guess they need the clicks.... called Clickbaiting.

Yep. Sames.

[@WanderingFun]

@Ceerix I disagree, I don’t see the title as clickbait, it’s not specifying this is a perfect replacement for Starlink. I totally get what you mean about plenty of areas where that’s the only option, however I’d guess the majority of RV trips are not to areas like that, in the big picture.

[@scottleggejr]

I agree but it's complimentary for me. Weboost+starlink are a great combo.

[@mrsteele8056]

Just went with starlink (rv package) and have loved it so far. It works pretty much everywhere, even under the trees in Virginia. Also prefer the no plan and pay for it as I go. We've had it for a year now and it's still working great. No data cap is huge and we generally pull at least 30Mb dl's. Most of the time it's 80-120mb honestly but even in the peak times is when we see the 25-50 ranges.

Thanks for the video. I've been using "Mi Fi," for several years through Verizon. That said, I recently went to Verizon to upgrade to a 5G Mi Fi and was advised that they will no longer be providing these units. Although I am disappointed about their decision, my 4G Mi Fi still does the job. Thank you for sharing. Mike

[@rodsaunders3741]

We have had the 5G thru Calyx for the last 3 months and could not be more pleased. Very easy to set up and it has been working great for streaming, as well as providing phones & laptops with internet. Occasionally get slow or no internet but rebooting the hotspot usually solves the problem as the device finds a stronger signal. Another added benefit is that the hotspot is portable. We found very handy hiking in the national parks with available internet in our backpack. Highly recommend and only $50 a month!

Great video and information Jared. We have Starlink, but only activate it during the months we are camping - not he same for you who are full time. Thanks! - Cheers!

[@XLSLife]

Just passed the 1yr mark on using a Calyx hotspot instead of Starlink. Not only is it cheaper but the convenience of not having to mess with the dish and router, and especially not having to worry about needing a site with an open view of the sky has been a game changer. I just finished my second year of full-timing and for the first year (almost to the day) I used Starlink. While it worked well (at some campgrounds it was even amazing) I did have to constantly plan around finding sites with full sun because trees are the nemesis of Starlink. Now that I don't have to worry about trees a lot of sites I previously wouldn't consider unless I had to have opened up. That said, I still keep the Starlink set up on hand just in case I have to go somewhere without good T-Mobile coverage. In the past year I've turned Starlink back on for a single stay at one campground because the T-Mobile speed was just too low for me. But I also stayed at a campground my first year where NO carriers had cellular coverage. The park was in a big bowl in a river valley and, according to the hosts, I was the first camper they'd had who got internet there thanks to Starlink. But for 99% of my travels, the hotspot has proven to be just as good and significantly cheaper.

[@MarieVaugn]

Thanks for the info. Cellular internet has been a lifesaver for me too. I went with HomeFi as it wasn't limited to one provider and my neighbor recommended it.

[@XLSLife]

9:57 Just my 2 cents on connecting Starlink and adding ports to run the wires in. Since I'm connecting to it wirelessly anyway I realized there was no need to have the router in the main part of the RV with me. The dish goes on a Flagpole Buddy mount on my ladder or it's base on the ground and I run the wire into my passthrough alongside the hose since there's already a port for that to run through. My passthrough has a couple outlets in it already so the router (and UPS/surge protector) just live in the passthrough and broadcast the wifi into the camper. Saves me from having to add any holes. But I'm excited to not have to mess with setup or worry about trees with my Calyx hotspot. Plus, with a built-in battery, the wifi won't have to be turned off whenever I disconnect from shore power to move.

Although that might work for you, 99% of our RV'ing we do is boondocking/dispersed camping. Many times no cell service. There are even places in Moab, UT on the back side of town that has no cell service. No service in parts of San Rafael Swell, Goblin Valley, etc. I just love my Starlink. I can get connected in 10 minutes, and everyone in camp can use my internet for their phones even while I am streaming and doing remote work. I just wish it was a little less expensive!

I'm a long time Calyx user & I heartily second the recommendation. I even wear my Calyx t-shirt in public! And I also learned about Calyx from the Mobile Internet Center. The Mobile Internet Center has a public side of their website & a membership side. For most RV'ers the public side will provide you with sufficient information about equipment & set-up options to meet your needs. But if you're a full-time remote worker that needs more speed or reliability, the membership side is where you'll need to go to get the deep dive about high end options.

[@digisketched7877]

Hey Joel, when you say long time user, how long are we talking about? I'm currently paying $140/mo for Reliable Internet Services and it works fantastic and is 5G, but that price is NOT friendly. Thanks to Jared's video here, I'm thinking of switching, but want to be sure this company will be around long term, and that their prices wont skyrocket once they know they've "got you hooked". Also, unlimited doesn't mean without throttling. Do you know if they have a limit at which point they'll throttle the speed until the next cycle? Any info/additional feedback would be much appreciated!

When you get to your rv site just plug in the power of the gateway and all your devices are connected in a couple minutes with no configuration. No hardware to buy.

I had MMH’s cell based roadwarrior package for 1300$ on my last RV for two years. They first sold AT&T via a 3rd party, then dropped that due to price increases. Then they became a provider and sold various cell plans, which all sucked in rural areas. They worked great in suburban areas, but due to signal strength and over subscription they all became unusable. Then the router they sold me became outdated due to everything going 5g which would have required another 500$ for an upgrade. I settled with Starlink which works great except for some slowness during peak hours and weekends. And the price is crazy at 145$ a month.

If I eventually get the device and the service performs as Jared says I will repost.

[@williamburgner]

The device has arrived. CALYX eventually sent an email to say it was out for delivery. There were no responses to my previous requests. Until the day before delivery the USPS site did not show the device presented to them, and that combined with CALYX silence led to my concern.

Yes it’s not perfect like all cell based plans but we have never been throttled or deprioritized because of how much we have used. Thanks for watching!

How to you connect the tp link to calyx ?

[@df8909]

Subscribed & love your approach/info on the subject BUT cannot see your links in the description…it’s blank except comments. Please check on your end & LMK??? Thanks!

[@scottxd45]

I have 2 hotspots from them. It’s great until you need support. They do not answer the phone or respond to email.

[@dannypabon2973]

love how you get to info right away

[@driftingdrams]

Thanks for not burying the lead

[@vincebotkin1960]

That will work great if you have cell service. What happens when you are in a dead zone. Starlink made it so I could use my phone and laptop and streaming options.

[@Ceerix]

They always compare apples with oranges. If you don't have cellular service there is NOTHING what can replace Starlink. I guess they need the clicks.... called Clickbaiting.

[@vincebotkin1960]

@@Ceerix Totally no comparison, either compare cell service to cell service or satellite service to satellite service. each one has it's own perks and down falls.

[@kilroybus3989]

Just purchased the CALYX membership and received the hotspot, however it seems there is a connectivity issue, going through some of the online forums and such it seems this is an ongoing issue that has to do with the Sprint merger and the help folks are getting from CALYX is less than stellar. Not sure if it is a chronic problem or a recent development but will see how they respond to my particular issue. Great video as usual though, thoroughly enjoy all your vids....

[@ixmewilson]

I'm going through same experience. Been 5 days and still waiting network connection.

[@AllAboutRVs]

Wow that’s concerning. When we switched to the 5g level we had a day or two of it. It connecting and I called in. I remember getting transferred to a separate “department” and they were able to get it working and haven’t had a problem since. There was a delay in my sons being able to play video games that they had to wait for an update on our device but no problems since then.

[@kilroybus3989]

@@AllAboutRVs Well., once I was able to talk to someone at Mobile citizen it was resolved within 24 hrs give or take…It seems it has something to do with the T-Mobile /Sprint merger somehow..but all is well right now…

Letting me know up front. Instant subscription and I’m watching until the end ❤

[@GrowingPains917]

Can you elaborate more on the symptoms you had before buying the TP LINK Wi-Fi Extender? I have the same MiFi M3000 router with Calyx using T-mobile and it can get very slow until I restart it. It seems like restarting it doesn’t always work, but I’m still learning its quirks. I only have two devices connected to it, but it’s been unreliable with just one device. Thanks and great channel btw 👍

[@whitmoresmawley6594]

Great video...alot of information..just starting out rv ING..I'm gathering up information

[@OraTravels]

Just ordered and saw I got an additional month for my membership. i hope you got yours.

[@drs3055]

I have AT&T for sticks and bricks internet. Would this work as you presented allowing me to eliminate AT&T internet?

[@BlahBlah122-b2t]

The cyber security people I've talked to said that VPNs DON'T hide what you're searching for or the websites that you go to. VPNs only hide where you are in the world, so you'd need to be using a good internet browser that is specifically designed to hide what you're researching and the websites that you visit.

[@EarlBalentine]

I like the T-Mobile Whole House Internet service. No programming or configuration after the initial 2 minute setup for $30 a month no contract. I got a free $150 gift card so my 1st 15 months is only $20 per month. I have traveled with it all over Arizona, just power it into power and up and running in 1 minute. Speeds of 50mbps to over 200mbps depending where you are. You can't beat the price.

[@jlbknives5722]

I’m currently looking for internet options as I’m full time rving but my problem is I’m just in one location and have zero cell service does yours truly run off just power or do you need T-Mobile service for it to work? Thanks

[@AllAboutRVs]

You would need T-mobile coverage to work.

[@sueellenmcgoey6095]

Is that a deal or regular price 30$ seems unbelievable 😮

[@robinpettit7827]

The T-Mobile 5G home internet is actually pretty reasonable too, so long as there is a good T-Mobile signal.

[@christinapittsley786]

Great info thanks!

[@john-j7e7e]

any options if camping only once a week?

[@pointaadventures5361]

Thank you so much for this information! We hadn't even heard of Calyx. My wife and I both work remote and are both on video calls daily. In your opinion, will Calyx support that?

[@jabberjaw1067]

Hard to believe you don't have the trucker weboost. 1 bar to 4. Works great. Maybe your in RV parks in cities all the time. Dry camping in the woods, they work great.

[@TonyYarusso]

Had you tried an external antenna before? I’m curious how much of the WeBoost gain is just from having an antenna up higher and outside of the rig versus anything it does beyond that.
