We pay $135/month for the rv service. Only cost difference is hardware...which is a lot.

The RV dish is currently the same one as the residential dish, and costs $599. The only $2500 dish that's currently available is the "business" version. I'm guessing the $2500 "RV" dish is the upcoming one that can work while moving. The price difference is $20 a month, but RV users are first to get throttled if there's insufficient capacity in a given area.

My mistake, I misunderstood the question to be between the current rv service and the new in-motion service. So yes, there is a monthly cost difference between stationary and current rv service ($110/$135) and yes, we're the first to get THROTTLED in higher usage areas. Also, if there is anything (leaf, tree branch, telephone pole) even in the peripheral view of dishy with an otherwise wide open view of NNW skies, signal will drop every 40-60 seconds (called a "disruption") and sometimes sooner. It's great when it's great, and rip it out and toss it in the trash frustrating when it's not.
