[u-u] Satellite Internet?

[Jim Mercer]

i've seen similar, only using roaming SIMs.

unsure their validity, but just followed the 'if it is too good to be 
true.....' thing.

the SIM thing also included a router with the SIM built in, which made 
it seem even more scammy.

google: maple wifi

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up,
totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"
