Common Connectivity Issues on the Road
Even in a country as connected as the USA, road trippers often face signal dead zones, especially in rural, mountainous, or national park areas. Here are some common issues and how to deal with them:
Dead Zones in Remote Areas: National parks and scenic byways often lack cell towers. You may lose coverage for hours at a time.
Network Congestion: In crowded tourist spots or city centers, networks can slow down due to high demand.
Single-Network SIM Limitations: If you rely on one mobile network, you’re more likely to hit areas with zero service.
