Both satellite and cellular have strengths and weaknesses. The satellite doesn't work under trees (much of the eastern US) while the cellular gets weak/slow or maybe even non-existent the further you get from cities and major highways. In practice, both systems work pretty well most of the time, but with the satellite you have to prioritize for open skies when you select a camp site. Cellular service can be much improved in rural areas with the addition of an external antenna or maybe even a cellular amplifier.

VOIP does not work seem to well on cellular data service, but a cell phone would do the job and it works when you are away from the computer too.
