Hi everyone. We have an autistic son who, whilst happy to come away with us in our ageing Swift Archway, but only if theres reliable internet/ phone coverage (no judgement please) so he can have his gaming time at the end of the day. It is becoming more and more difficult finding sites that have reliable internet so are seriously thinking of buying a starlink mini and would welcome your thoughts. It would only be used for when we are away in the caravan and wouldnt need it at home so wondered if theres any cheaper alternatives?

We have a 3 wireless hub at home, that we take with us in the Caravan since getting rid of landline. But before that when we had the landline we bought a TP Link and put a SIM in it, and got good signal strength over all parts of the UK, again using a 3 SIM card. You can get them just PAYG,or on Annual contract. We had PAYG and just topped up when going away.

Rather than lashing out on Starlink why not investigate using your mobile phone (or buy another cheap one just for this) as a WIfi hotspot. You simply buy a PAYG data only sim card (they come in all sorts of capacity up to 100 gb (which is a LOT of data)
We have unlimited data on our mobiles so tether our smart TV to either phone to watch TV whilst away. Works a treat.
