No limits on RV, just the degraded connections.
I’d don’t game, but I do stream, no issues.

We RV and only have dsl at home so could I use the rv version at home and bring when traveling?

Something about all of this isnt right. They say the infrastructure isnt there to sell home units but they can sell the RV model and whatever this latest wet dream is called.
Sounds like a desperate grab for funds.
How can this latest incarnation crowd bandwidth from home system users in my area when there aint any home systems in my area.

“During peak times of network congestion “which usually occurs in the afternoon and evening you will have reduced internet connection.
So I wont be able to do teams calls on my VPN connection in the afternoon. I almost never turn on the video. I can dial in on my cell connection if need be. . Where we lived before, there was no internet service except Satelite. I got viasat for my wife to use for her vpn to europe (it was all spreadsheets being transferred)and no cell service in the house so I put a weboost antenna on the roof and we got 3 megs of hotspot and we made it thru 3 years like that. I have a feeling that I can figure this out. Where we are renting right now, I have T-mobile 5 g. I took that 5-g/LTE router to our new place to test it out and the speed was 8-15 megs. Still much faster than what we had before and faster than the DSL line that runs to the property.

No video calls would be a game killer for many, zooming keeps some businesses afloat.

Is that specified in the email? Maybe someone could post the text of the email?

What will the internet experience be like with Best Effort?
During times of peak network congestion, Best Effort users will experience notably slower speeds than Residential users. Best Effort users will be able to engage in typical internet activity like email, online shopping, or streaming an SD movie, but they won’t be able to engage in activities like online gaming, video calls or streaming 4K and HD movies.
Outside times of peak network congestion, Best Effort users can expect to engage in all of the above activities and more, but speeds will be slower than Residential users.
