Rural Internet

Unlimitedville 5G Ultra is $109/mo and 4G Plus is $99/mo. Starlink Roam is $165/mo and Residential is $120/mo. Plus Starlink requires a $599 dish purchase.
Unlimitedville uses 4G/5G cellular towers while Starlink uses Low Earth Orbit satellites. If you have usable cell signal, Unlimitedville is simpler to set up and less expensive.
RV & Travel
Unlimitedville vs. Starlink for RV and travel
Full-time RVers, truckers, and frequent travelers need internet that keeps up. Unlimitedville is simple: power your router and connect your devices. Works on 12v or 110v.
Satellite dishes need stationary alignment and clear sky visibility. Unlimitedville does not require any exterior hardware or sky access.
Every Unlimitedville plan works at home and on the road. Starlink Residential is locked to one address. Starlink Roam allows mobility at $165/mo — $56/mo more than Unlimitedville 5G Ultra.
Starlink Alternatives 2026
Why people are switching from Starlink to cellular internet
Starlink was a breakthrough for rural internet. But as cellular 5G networks have expanded, many Starlink users are finding that cellular home internet delivers better value, especially if you have cell signal at your address.
Here's why Unlimitedville has become one of the most popular Starlink alternatives in 2026:
No dish installation
Starlink requires a $349–$599 dish mounted outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Unlimitedville is a plug-in router — no outdoor hardware, no roof mounting, no installation.
Lower total cost
Starlink Residential is $120/mo plus equipment. Unlimitedville starts at $69/mo with $0 equipment on the Lite plan. Over 2 years, that's up to $1,573 in savings.
True portability
Starlink Residential is address-locked. Starlink Roam costs $165/mo. Every Unlimitedville plan works at home and on the road at no extra cost.
Better weather performance
Satellite signals degrade in rain, snow, and heavy clouds. Cellular towers are ground-based and rarely affected by weather.
No equipment to buy or lose
If you cancel Starlink, you own a $349+ dish with no resale value. Unlimitedville equipment is included with your membership — just return it if you cancel.
21-day risk-free trial
Test Unlimitedville at your location for 21 days. If it doesn't work, return the router for a full refund. Starlink's return window is 30 days, but you've already paid for the dish.

Averaging daily speeds of 17mbps+."

"The customer service is beyond exceptional! The Support team was very responsive and ensured that every thing that I made mistakes on was corrected. They were pleasant and helpful! I would recommend this service to anyone! Not to forget to mention, the service itself is nothing short of amazing!"
"I wanted to let the management team at Unlimitedville a big kudos. I live in a very rural area and good internet access is very hard to find. I purchased the blue plan and it works amazingly. I can now stream anything I want. If you are on the fence whether to purchase or not, I encourage you to try it you will not be sorry"
