Would be brilliant, I suppose if you work online and want to take it with you to be able to travel more it would be fine. I'm considering it(not the roam version) but the price!!

Following a couple of blogs where people have got it, other than cost it seems to be the business. The big draw is you can run it anywhere no matter how remote you are.

This guy just installed it in his van. The roam package for europe is 85 gbp (sterling) per month. The thing that surprised me was the amount of power it used.

Yes, that’s a big draw. It may be to power the RF amplifier side of things for the upload. Be interesting to see a test with it being used mostly for download (which most users will use it for) rather than Johns test which I assume the upload was done via starlink.

The hardware is currently on offer in Spain for domestic and roaming at €199, this makes it tempting if the speeds are consistent, however the supplied router is only wireless and people recommend setting up a mesh wifi with it which requires an ethernet adapter and a network switch to allow connection of say a cctv system.
