Bonus - Internet on the Road with goRoam
This episode is not sponsored in any way. Jess from goRoam contacted me to ask if I thought you folks might like to hear about her solution for Internet on the road, and when I found out what it was, I said YES. This episode delves into Starlink, 5g and LTE connectivity and there's something to learn for everyone. Her company, goRoam, has a solution that allows "at home" Internet speeds anywhere. And she has great tips for folks with less connectivity needs. It's not "cheap," but if your job depends on it, it's not out of reach either. I was surprised at how affordable it is. If you're going to work from the road, Internet connectivity is super important, so you'll want to check this out.
