NOMAD INTERNET, FROM OUR FOUNDING DAYS TO TODAY
Our journey to serving the underserved and solving the digital divide in America
nomad TIMELINE
Nomad Internet founded
We provided outdoor wifi access to over 50,000 customers across resorts, RV parks, and campgrounds in Texas.
BACKGROUND
On March 30, 2023, the Office of the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit
against Nomad Internet incorrectly alleging that Nomad Internet willingly scammed
customers, and filed a court order to enjoin operations and freeze company assets.
On April 14, 2023, Nomad Internet successfully reversed the injunction by providing the
court with evidence of legitimate business and services for thousands of customers who
rely on Nomad Internet for internet access.
Six days later, on April 20, the Attorney General’s office issued a press release recklessly
misrepresenting the facts of the case.
Despite attempts by Nomad Internet’s attorneys to correct the factual inaccuracies and
misleading framing of the case by the AG in the press release – including the reversal of
the court ordered freezing of Nomad Internet’s assets, which is not reflected in the
current press release – the AG’s office has refused to cooperate.
FACTS
- The Texas Attorney General’s case is related to Nomad’s operations between April
2020 and December 2022, when the company provided fixed wireless programs
to customers through a network of resellers that Nomad Internet believed to have
legacy contracts, offering customers in rural communities, RV parks and other
underserved areas of the U.S. with unique access to fixed wireless programs that
were both reliable and affordable. - Nomad Internet was informed that some of these reseller’s legacy contracts had
been severed by carriers, at which point Nomad conducted an audit to identify
which resellers were providing unauthorized internet access to Nomad Internet
customers, and terminated agreements accordingly. - Nomad Internet, to date, has issued refunds to all customers who contacted
Nomad Internet after having been impacted by these terminated reseller
agreements. - No criminal charges have been brought against Nomad Internet or any person
associated with the company. - Nomad Internet has full legal authority to operate and continue providing internet
services to its customers. The lawsuit has no impact on the internet services
currently being provided to customers.
STATUS UPDATE
- Nomad Internet attorney’s are working closely with the state of Texas to resolve
the claims made against the company and reach a resolution. - Nomad Internet attorneys are negotiating a favorable settlement, which is
expected to be finalized within the coming weeks. - Nomad Internet has hired a communications advisory firm to mitigate reputational
risk and manage stakeholder relationships. - Nomad Internet customer service representatives have been provided clear
instructions and messaging to field any consumer inquiries or press outreach
pertaining to the lawsuit.
We partner with resellers who have exclusive contracts with major carriers to offer affordable fixed wireless internet to on-the-road customers and rural communities in the U.S.
The lawsuit against Nomad by the state of Texas is related to this time period, when some resellers didn’t notify us that their contracts with carriers had been canceled.
Nomad signs a deal with Verizon Wireless to operate exclusively as an authorized reseller.
Office of Texas Attorney General (AG) files lawsuit against Nomad Internet incorrectly accusing Nomad of being a scam.
Texas AG files court order to try to stop Nomad operations and freeze company assets.
Nomad successfully reverses order to stop operations by providing evidence of our legitimate business and services for thousands of customers who need Nomad for internet access.
Texas AG issues press release with misinformation about Nomad’s business practices, the court’s reversed order that allowed Nomad to keep serving customers, and more.
Nomad CEO Robyn Weber issues a statement on how Nomad Internet is working with the AG’s office to resolve mistaken claims and hold unauthorized resellers accountable for duping customers, carriers, and partners, including Nomad.
Nomad Internet continues to provide high-speed internet to over 10,000 customers across the country through Verizon Wireless.

I recently switched to Nomad Internet and am so pleased with my decision! I live in a rural area, so good and cheap internet providers can be hard to come by. But Nomad offered me exactly what I needed: good speed at an affordable price that fits within my budget. I got an amazing unlimited residential plan for just $109! After comparing their speeds to Optimum and AT&T, I can confidently say that they are right up there with the biggest competitors. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this service and would definitely recommend it to others!

Nomad Internet is one of the best wi-fi internet services providers in Vermont and I'm really pleased with what they offer. Originally I had some reservations about switching from CenturyLink because I was worried about having enough speed in my rural area but that was not the case with Nomad. They were able to provide a reliable and high speed wi-fi connection which allowed me to easily download or upload whatever I need in an efficient manner. Highly recommend taking a look at them if you're looking for wi-fi/internet service!

I recently found out about Nomad Internet, and I’m so glad I did! As a rural resident of Idaho, I know thar finding best internet providers in my area can be difficult. But with Nomad, getting fast internet for my home has been a breeze. For the first time ever, my kids are able to get their online education without any hiccups. Plus, even though Sparklight and TekFinity were cheaper than Nomad’s monthly service fee, the dependability and speed that comes with Nomad make it invaluable! Definitely recommend if you live in a rural area!
