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.

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 $79/mo with $99 equipment on the Lite plan. Over 2 years, that's up to $1,484 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.

"We live in a rural area and we’re not able to get internet service from any providers until we found Unlimitedville. The service works great and able to use multiple devices without any issues. The setup is easy and support is helpful and convenient."
"I moved to a very rural area in Florida. The first year was a battle with our internet provider due to our internet was down more then it was up. The previous company was not able to resolve any of our issues and was not able to consistently keep our internet up and running. Since being with Unlimitedville we have had no issues....none! Customer service is exceptional and so is our internet service. I would recommend this provider especially to people living in rural areas. Thank you!!"
"This was my last option where i live and im glad i got it , best speeds ive ever seen here . I can play games online and stream in 4k , and games no longer take a week to download , worth every penny"
"This is a real email I'm sending to Unlimitedville. I am actually needing to move to another company but I'm doing it with a partial sense of regret. BOTTOM LINE - Unlimitedville has been THE BEST for us!!! We were MORE THAN DELIGHTED with EVERYTHING about your company and service!!!!! -We had little to no slow downs on our service and when we did, I called and got IMMEDIATE resolution and support AND got a service refund without even asking for one. ! -Our hardware and setup was EXTREMELY easy to work with. -I can’t say enough about the customer support. I didn’t have to wait for someone to pickup and handle my call. The agents were more than friendly, supportive, knowledgeable and did I mention SUPPORTIVE !?! They seriously treated me like a human being who was not an idiot – just needed some direction. The word that comes to mind is RESPECT for me – the customer. It’s soooo rare. The only reason I am unsubscribing is that we live in an internet desert despite the fact that we are only an hour away from Washington DC, Charlottesville, and Northern VA. ! We secured service with Starlink and the speed is un comparable to anything that can be offered by any internet company around here. I will and do advertise to my friends and family about your company and services. And I will continue to do so. Wishing you all the success you need to continue in your business."
"A couple of years ago I bought my first home, it took me a while to get moved in but once I did, I discovered that the internet and cable providers that I was used to - Comcast or Verizon - were not available in my area and the ones that were around were, well, let's just say I heard anything from bad to mixed reviews about them. I looked into Dish Network internet, I looked into satellite internet, and again I wasn't hearing the level of confidence in the reviews that I would have liked to have heard. Then by chance, I came across a forum where someone mentioned Unlimitedville. My modem came in the mail, I plugged it in, and I'm happy to tell everyone that Unlimitedville delivered everything it says it does. I was able to have reliable service to search the web, use my computer, stream videos, use my Chromcast, everything that I hoped for I was able to do. It's been a great couple of years with them, so much so that I hate to leave their service but leave them I must not because of anything on their part, but because Comcast has become available in my area, and it is time for me to move on. Financially, I don't have a choice. But before I leave Unlimitedville, I want to thank them for the excellent service that they provided me and to let anyone know who's in a situation similar to mine where they don't have any traditional cable/internet providers in their area or can't depend on the ones that are around to give Unlimitedville a try."
"I live in the country and was skeptical at first,but this is the real deal! I went with the blue plan and it is amazing!"
