Rural Wifi plans?
Posted on 7/25/22 at 5:49 pm

We recently bought a camp near Warsaw, MO. Starlink is not available in that area and I'm having trouble deciding what will work. I have looked into RV wifi and several of the big carriers such as Verizon. Verizon is what our phones are currently. We can't pull up a webpage on our phone out there. Any ideas or suggestions would be great. The main concerns are streaming football games this fall.

Check to see if there are any WISP providers in your area.

Yeah would love to move out to middle of nowhere and set up shop but this is what keeps me from doing it. Work remotely but most be able to have zoom meetings and a good connection to work.

If I figure this out I’ll stay out there weeks at a time.

Starlink RV plan should be able to work there. It is $25/mo more, and you are deprioritized over people with service in that cell but it has worked well for me in my RV so long as there is open northern sky for the dish

Verizon should let you test one of their fixed wireless units. You might be able to position it near a window where it can get a decent signal.
And as another poster suggested, search for a WISP in the area. It's fixed wireless service similar to cellular, but usually smaller companies and they tend to specialize in shooting a signal out to the boonies where it's not worth it for the big guys.

Hughesnet? Works great for me in Alaska.

We use Rise broadband. They shoot a signal from a water tower. They are in Texas but support services throughout the Midwest.
Waiting on Starlink.

Como fiber has run a TON of fiber on the north side of Lake of the Ozarks. Not sure if they go all the way up to warsaw or not but there is definitely fiber in the area.

I looked at Como but the map shows them just east of our place. I think I will call them just to be sure. Thanks!

I hate at&.t but they might have a better signal than Verizon in your area?

My relatives have such poor ATT signal at their house that our phones would get zero to 1 bar. Yet the ATT Fixed Wireless antenna/box on the roof was able to pick up enough signal for them to have solid internet. Now streaming Netflix and HBO all day long.
You might try ATT Fixed Wireless or the similar Verizon product if available in your area. They checked the signal before doing any work, so it doesn't hurt to try.

This is good to know. Verizon told me it would work. I did not believe them because my phone does not get much of a signal. Thank you!

You could try a signal booster. The last job I worked had horrible reception. They installed some hiboosts and it was a completely different animal. I’ve seen a YouTube or two about boosters working in rural area.

So Starlink has now cut speeds in half for US users and instituted a soft cap on data. I would no longer recommend Starlink as an ISP. I am convinced that they will continue to downgrade service and prices will be increasing again. It was good while it lasted.

Great. Been waiting for it since 2021 and will be shite by the time we eventually see it.
