Nomad’s wireless internet service aims to help bridge the digital divide by connecting rural community members and people on the go — everyone from farmers and remote workers who regularly travel for business to people with a recreational vehicle lifestyle. To accomplish this, Nomad Internet uses 4G and 5G networks to bring internet connectivity to its customers. The company’s approach — no contract, no cancellation fees — makes it a compelling choice for those with few broadband options. The main caveat? Since it’s a third-party vendor using other providers’ networks, the internet speeds you receive will vary greatly.
Nomad Internet, which launched as an internet service provider in 2017, welcomed 2023 by announcing a spiffy new mobile app and sending out a press release touting Nomad as the largest national rural wireless internet service provider in the US. How it came upon that proclamation is unclear. For context, T-Mobile Home Internet, another national WISP that made a lot of noise in 2023, has many more total customers, around 5.2 million, which is forecasted to increase to 5.6 million during 2024.
