Last winter I was looking of reliable wi-fi in our motorhome, as most people know campsite internet is advertised as ‘free’ but is usually patchy and slow, I looked at Starlink but that needs a clear sky to work, all the campgrounds we have stayed at are heavily wooded! plus I think it is too expensive for casual use, so that’s leaving us with cellular devices.
The main selling point for ConnecTen is it’s multi carrier capability, (I have noticed it does change to the strongest signal available), when we are in a good reception area speeds are 35Mbps down and around 5Mbps up, that is more than enough for us. When not on the road we park the motorhome at our farm which is a heavily wooded place with the nearest phone towers over six miles away, even in a poor cellular reception area where even making a phone call can be difficult at times the ConnecTen unit surprised me with 1.5Mbps down and .5Mbps up, sometimes it’s better. Tyler (who I think is the company owner and a great guy to talk too) said a roof mounted antenna would make a difference, the unit is just sat in a cupboard at the front of the motorhome at the moment, I tried it at the farm, and it’s fast enough to watch YouTube without problems, it isn’t our main internet on the farm, but it is good to know it can work in an area with a poor signal. I have called customer support a couple of times, they answered quickly and sorted the issue out quickly too, so far, I am very pleased with the service from ConnecTen.
