Love to see side by side comparison of Tesla starlink roam and Nomad on the property. With both starlink and nomad at $150 / month or $100 / month for 100 mbps (nomad only), not sure how practical with home and phone internet too. Curious your thoughts?
We had Nomad for seven months and it wasn’t good. We finally got our Starlink equipment after about a sixteen month wait. Starlink is much better for us in rural East Texas.
As a network engineer of over 20 years I can tell you that most of the latency you are seeing in these tests is due to the limitation of your wireless connection from the modem/router and your device. Swap that out for something connected with minimum of 5g wireless or better 1000 base t and you will see huge changes in the throughput.
The nomad device has built in modern wi-fi…it’s receiving the mobile cell broadband and then also creating a local wireless network. That’s not the problem. He’s not getting faster speeds b/c he is out in the sticks.
Very useful information. I was excited that you will build another cabin next year. I have greatly enjoyed your videos from the beginning. They have always ticked all the boxes of my expectations each time. Informative, very creative and unique with beautiful videography and enjoyable music. They flow with an expectation of "what's next". They aren't pretentious but give, I feel, an accuracy lacking in many channels. Truthful. Thanks for great and enjoyable content. Did I say also inspiring? Happy Thanksgiving. Cheers!!!
Very cool set up for remote internet. Thank you for sharing it with us. Your completed cabin is absolutely stunning and the best yet on the internet. Looking forward to your next build. The new location area is as gorgeous as you could get. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Kind Regards, Randy in Arizona at Coyote Sticks by WILEY
Thank you for showing your interest in Nomad Internet. Please feel free to join us on the live chat if you need any assistance in choosing the best plan according to your area and needs.
I never knew where you were located and I still don't but according to your internet screen somewhere near Jackson TN. Nice country around there, I've worked in Jackson several times. We are going to try and move back home to Ky from Indiana as we are retired now. We won't be too far from your region as we'll be near Ky Lake. What are your plans for the multiple cabins ABNB ??
Love your videos. I'd like to build a cabin on my property in TN but like yours I'm in a hollow and get little to no cell signal. I'm wondering how the internet test would differ with leaves on the trees.
I just looked into the nomad equipment. And I believe it will work for me. I live in a small town's senior housing, the wirings shot. So no cable or WiFi. I've been looking for something and I'm thinking I've found it. Thanks
Thank you for your interest in Nomad Internet, feel free to join us on the live chat, our representatives will assist you in selecting the best plan according to your area.
I would be curious as to your results with a Verizon phone as compared to AT&T. It seemed where the Verizon Nomad was strong, your AT&T was weak, and vice versa.
We use C-band which works in areas where mobile hotspot does not. And we have seen cases of Nomad Internet thriving in areas where mobile hotspot face issues. Please feel free to join us on live chat and our representative would love to assist you in choosing the best plan according to your area.
Thanks. It will be late 2024 before I attempt next build. A lot will be determined on whether or not I can build a bridge over the creek to get back to the spot I want to build the "real" log cabin.
@@TheOffGridExperience “Real” meaning cutting down trees for the logs and boards? I’ve seen Shawn James of My Self Reliance build his and it is IN CRE DI BLE!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching him build it and I’d be thrilled to watch you do the same, if that’s your goal.
Yes, and we do recommend you to place the modem at an elevated place for optimal results. For further, instructions you can join our representative on the live chat and he would love to assist you.
Our modems do support external antennas but in our experience we have found out that you get better results if you use it without it. You can join our representative from 8am to 8pm on the live chat to get more details about the system if you like.
I am seriously going to check this out soon. i hate my internet provider. They tried to charge me for an interruption when it was a flood that took out everyone's service. Thank you dear.
I work for them and checked out the area around your PO Box address, and you should be able to get 5G service if your cabin is nearby.. I'm not sure the best way to chat with you, but I would be glad to look deeper into the area if you like. I just don't want to provide my work address here.
In reality, you are not "off the grid" if we take into account the internet speed you achieve on your mobile phone without the help of "nomad". When you get the message "no internet access" on your mobile phone, you are really off grid...
@@NewBrunswickOutdoorLife Everyone has their own interpretation, for me it's off grid when you're separated from any network, such as the mobile network
See if you can find this .. A doesn't have it right now. Remote Area Verizon Cell Booster Boost 4G 5G LTE Signal on 700MHz Band13 Covers an Area Up to 4500 Sq Ft FCC Approved. there is a number you type into the V phone and it tells if you have band 13
We are sorry you had an issue with Nomad's customer service. We are always trying to improve customer service for our Nomad customers. Please reach out to us so that we can resolve any issues that you have.
Cool! I was not aware of Nomad. New cabin sounds great. Larger? Same style? I'm excited!! Have a great Thanksgiving!

Would be interesting to see. ..

Good question. I guess I will find out in April.
@@TheOffGridExperience I'd be curious to know if you still have the system by then.
I picked up an antenna booster that is directional and not omni ... and it about tripled my speeds (rural)... 65 bucks no monthly
Wow you're going to build a new cabin into next year I can't wait to see it and is it going to be bigger than the one that you built😊
That's the plan! Probably late 2024.

Did you have to pull any permits? How much land did you purchase? Just curious as to how you where able to pull this off
That cabin you just built was just a place to stay until you build your other cabin which is BIGGER?? 😮 It’s so beautiful though, and cozy.
Thanks. It will be late 2024 before I attempt next build. A lot will be determined on whether or not I can build a bridge over the creek to get back to the spot I want to build the "real" log cabin.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Same to you!
did elevation make any difference?
Yes, and we do recommend you to place the modem at an elevated place for optimal results. For further, instructions you can join our representative on the live chat and he would love to assist you.
Enjoyed this video thanks
Would a stationary antenna help?

Fantastic

Donna, thank you for your interest in Nomad. Please feel free to reach out to us when you are ready. We’d love to show you how we are different!
My experience with them has been so far, so good! Make sure you use the 10% coupon in video description if you try them out. Take care!
Good info! Peace
What part of middle Tennessee are you from?
What's your address? 😂
@@SmickyD no. Was just wondering what part of middle Tennessee.
An hour southwest of Nashville.
Have you tried T-mobile Home internet?
I have not.
I work for them and checked out the area around your PO Box address, and you should be able to get 5G service if your cabin is nearby.. I'm not sure the best way to chat with you, but I would be glad to look deeper into the area if you like. I just don't want to provide my work address here.
You're not really off grid if you can have an IOP address traced, right?
In reality, you are not "off the grid" if we take into account the internet speed you achieve on your mobile phone without the help of "nomad". When you get the message "no internet access" on your mobile phone, you are really off grid...
In reality, "off grid" means no phone at all.
The grid is anything connected physically.

We tried Nomad for seven months. It was not good and we returned the equipment.
I'm happy with it so far (1 month). We'll see how it goes!
The Flip? Really? I used to like you man
Haha...it's actually not bad!
Don't go with nomad bad customer service
They have been fine with me so far. What was your issue?
