Job description
This is a remote position.
Job Title: Customer Service Representative
Location: Remote/contract to hire
Company Overview:
We started Nomad Internet because we believe that rural communities are special, but remote areas can be very challenging without access to reliable high-speed internet. If you have ever experienced living in a rural community, you can understand the struggles of poor internet quality. It can ruin your whole day to plan around the internet randomly “going out”.
Rural communities need access to High-Speed Internet just as much as urban folks do. But, they are often left out of the Internet conversation in America. Then, they are expected to be ok with 2nd class internet. The same internet that has been publicly funded over and over again without any improvements.
We felt it was time for a change! Over the last 4 years, with the help of rural communities around the country, we are now one of the largest rural internet providers in the country!
Nomad Internet provides the best wireless internet you can possibly experience. With our use of C-band spectrum and the Nomad Omega, Air and Raptor modems, most Nomad Internet customers experience speeds between 100-200mbs. Plus, the Nomad Air Travel option allows customers to take this internet anywhere they travel!
At Nomad Internet, we are the best in the world at one thing: Rural Internet. Our entire focus is bringing reliable, high-speed wifi to rural communities, and we want you to put us to the test.
