Unlimited Internet for RVs (2025 Plans Compared)

Does “unlimited” truly mean unlimited? Let’s talk about it.

Life on the road can be unpredictable, but one thing that shouldn’t be is your internet connection. In an era where digital media and remote work are more popular than ever, it’s increasingly important to have an internet connection without anxiety about reaching data caps.

Let’s dive into the world of unlimited internet. Compare the coverage, pricing and other strengths and weaknesses of unlimited internet plans for RVs from TravlFi and other major carriers.

Why Unlimited Internet Matters for RVers

Unlimited internet provides travelers with the ability to stream, conduct remote work, play video games, and do other online activities that often require large amounts of data, all without worrying about going over your data limit. Well, for the most part.

Many unlimited data plans are not truly “unlimited.” Often, your provider may have throttling policies that decrease your speeds or deprioritize your connection if you use a certain amount of data. When you’re working from your RV, that matters—a lot.

TravlFi Unlimited Internet for RVs

TravlFi’s unlimited plans are available for all of our devices, including the JourneyGo hotspot, JourneyXTR or JourneyXTR Pro routers. Unlimited plans for the three devices are all priced at $129 while the JourneyXTR Pro has an additional 5G Unlimited Max plan at $159. All plans are on a flexible pay-as-you-go basis, and you are not bound by any contract.

The best part? You can access the internet from multiple major carriers with eSIM technology, so you get unlimited data from multiple providers for the price of one.

Another advantage of TravlFi’s unlimited plans is that their extremely high data threshold puts you much closer to a true “unlimited” plan than most other carriers. You would need to use over 800GB of data before experiencing a reduction in speeds; even then, speeds only reduce to a minimum of 5Mbps.

Verizon RV Internet Plans

Verizon does not have an internet plan specifically tailored to RVers, but you may still be able to use their products on the road. Donovan Aubert, a Verizon sales specialist, says that Verizon’s internet routers can be used at a place of residence and in RVs as long as you have some type of power source.

He notes that the biggest advantage of Verizon for RV use is its coverage across most of the nation, so as you move, you stay covered. According to Aubert, you will also not be throttled while connected under Verizon’s unlimited plans.

T-Mobile AWAY Internet for RVers

T-Mobile’s AWAY internet plan is a popular choice for long-term RVers, seasonal travelers, digital nomads, and other frequent travelers, according to T-Mobile’s website.

Arthur Colker, a networking expert and founder of StayFi, notes that the plan’s strengths lie in its flat-rate pricing, and “its aggressive 5G coverage build-out, which can provide excellent speeds in the majority of suburban and urban locations.”

He warns, however, that coverage in rural areas may not be quite as strong as Verizon’s, posing potential drawbacks for those who depend on a consistent connection for remorse work, streaming, or gaming. That said, T-mobile is also pioneering satellite connections through a partnership with Starlink, so more rural coverage could come soon.

AT&T Internet for RVs

AT&T does not have any dedicated RV plans, but their hotspot plans work well for travel in some cases. AT&T’s coverage falls in between Verizon and T-Mobile, Colker says, and it’s strong in the majority of urban areas, suburban areas, and highway-adjacent zones; however, it’s "not quite as solid in very rural areas,” making it more suitable for those who do not strictly travel off the grid, he adds.

Satellite Options

Starlink

“Starlink has been a game-changer for RV travelers as it provides actual broadband speeds in areas with no cell service,” Colker says. Simply connect the device to power and position your dish, and voila, you’re online. Starlink’s coverage includes almost anywhere with a clear line of sky in North America, Australia, almost all of South America, and some of Africa and Asia.

Starlink’s unlimited Roam plan for RVs, nomads, and campers is $165 per month, which includes countrywide and international coverage, coastal coverage, in-motion use, and international travel. While the plan is in line with industry standards, the upfront cost of the equipment can be a problem for potential buyers: the Standard Kit is $349, the Mini Kit is $499, and the Performance Kit is $1,999.

DISH

According to Colker, DISH offers satellite internet to RVers, but "their service has been slower and less dependable than Starlink.” He adds that setup and installation is more complicated, and RV travelers who prioritize flexibility and internet speeds, “Starlink is the more desirable satellite option.”

Which Option is Right for Me?

For those who stream videos, play video games often, or conduct other activities that use a lot of data, TravlFi is a great option because of its high data threshold. Its multi-carrier coverage also means you’ll stay connected in nearly every corner of the country—plus Canada and Mexico at no extra charge.

If you travel internationally or in remote areas with minimal sky obstructions, Starlink can provide internet connection even if no cell service is available.

To decide if Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T is best for you, it’s a good idea to look at coverage maps online and choose based on where you plan to spend most of your time. For example, T-Mobile has quite a few gaps in coverage in the Mountain West region of the U.S., though those areas are newly supplemented by T-Satellite.

FAQs

What is the best unlimited internet for RVs?

The best unlimited RV internet depends on your data needs and where you travel. With TravlFi, you have the option of stationary routers or a portable hotspot so you can be covered wherever you go. TravlFi’s unlimited plans are on a cancel-anytime, pay-as-you-go basis, making it a great option for those who may not constantly need unlimited internet. According to Colker, Starlink is also a great option because of its vast coverage, but the pricey devices may deter some customers.

Can I get truly unlimited internet for my RV?

TravlFi’s unlimited internet plans are very close to being truly unlimited; TravlFi has an extremely high data threshold compared to most other carriers, meaning you will not experience any deprioritization or throttling until you’ve reached 800GB of data use—hundreds more of data than many other carriers offer—and speeds would only be reduced to a minimum of 5Mbps.

Which carrier has the best RV internet plans?

The best carrier for you depends on where you travel the most. Colker points out that rural or remote area travelers may find Verizon to be the most reliable because of its strong nationwide coverage. For travelers in more suburban and urban areas, however, T-Mobile’s AWAY plan can offer excellent 5G speeds.

Is Starlink better than cellular internet for RVs?

“Starlink is better when it comes to providing high-speed internet to the boondocks where no cellular carrier can reach. It's especially useful for boondockers who need reliable service to work or stream,” says Colker. “That being said, cellular internet may be more convenient when driving through areas that are populated, as you don't have to set up equipment with each stop. Many RVers use Starlink as their primary service and keep a cellular plan as a backup, so they're always covered no matter where they are,” he continues.

How much does unlimited RV internet cost?

The cost of your unlimited RV internet depends on your plan, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. TravlFi offers unlimited plans at $129 or $159 a month, but with no contracts, you never pay for more than you need. Additionally, TravlFi’s internet devices and equipment come at affordable price points compared to other options.
