SpaceX's Starlink satellite broadband constellation has become a game changing option for mobile internet for many RVers and boaters over the past few years - allowing nomads of all types to keep abundantly connected in places not possible before.
But Starlink is not without its drawbacks - and we get asked all the time here at the Mobile Internet Resource Center for advice on alternatives.
There are many reasons one may not want Starlink - whether it is the rising ongoing monthly costs, issues with obstructions, constant plan and terms of service changes, off-grid power consumption concerns, or other more personal reasons.
Can nomads still travel with abundant connectivity - without relying on Starlink?
The answer for most is YES!
With a little bit of work it is not hard at all to dial back or eliminate completely your dependency on Starlink.
And even if you intend to keep Starlink a part of your connectivity arsenal - knowing your alternatives can pay off when you encounter Starlink congestion or obstruction issues.
