Best Data Plans for a Home Internet Replacement
RVers and cruisers need high-speed data that is able to be used to get laptops, computers, video streaming devices, gaming systems, and home automation systems online
We're working remotely, homeschooling, researching our next stop, banking, keeping entertained and staying in touch with friends & family, all of which require internet access.
For most people, that means one or more cellular data plans that can be used as a home or office internet replacement - not just "unlimited" data on a smartphone or tablet.
This guide is kept constantly up to date with our top data plan picks for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile an Sprint - plans that are suitable for RVers and cruisers needing a home internet replacement.
The selected plans are easily obtainable for consumers and provide the most amount of usable high-speed hotspot data for the lowest cost.
