Seamless integration into airbnb's website. And as a host, seeing "Great Internet" on my listing makes me happy.
by Nick Beyer Nick Beyer, 2020-12-14

As an employee at a large tech company with a highly competitive culture, I can't afford to stay in a place with poor internet while travelling. Roamer is crucial for someone like myself who values my career but also likes to travel. Roamer helps me eliminate places that have poor internet so that I don't dial-in to a meeting and have absolutely no one understand what I'm saying.
