Know before you go. Travel the world, or plan the perfect workcation. Roamer is a chrome extension that helps you find Airbnbs in neighborhoods with fast internet.

Roamer now makes it easy to request WiFi speed tests on Airbnb. 📶

Hey PH 👋🏻 I'm excited to share a major update to the Roamer chrome extension 🎉 In order to find reliable WiFi when I travel I always message the Airbnb host and ask them to run a speed test. Surprisingly, over half of the hosts respond with metrics within the same day! I want to make this process as easy as possible for you to replicate. Here's how the new feature works: 1) Use the Roamer rating to find a few Airbnbs in neighborhoods with fast internet. 🏡 2) Click "Request Speed Test" on each listing. Roamer will pre-populate a custom, proven to work, message to the hosts asking them to reply with their internet speed metrics. 💌 3) Click "Send Message." Then sit back and wait a few hours for the replies to roll in. 😌 Safe travels! --------------------------- FAQ: Is this strategy effective? Yes! I've actually messaged 207 hosts using this template and 106 of them have responded with internet speed metrics within 24 hours. Hosts are incentivized to respond quickly in order to earn superhost status. Will hosts send me a screenshot? No. Unfortunately Airbnb blocks all images and links from their chat until a booking has already been confirmed. Instead, you should expect hosts to type our their download, upload, and latency metrics in a message. Do hosts provide accurate data? Yes! They are very sensitive to misleading you because they do not want you to give them a poor review.

Ha - I love it! Having just (accidentally) spent a long weekend somewhere with literally zero wifi and zero phone signal, this sounds ideal @digidaniel @davidsawyer1!

@digidaniel @davidsawyer1 @ Daniel, great profile picture - Moraine Lake?

interesting idea. What's the advantage of using the extension vs sending your own speed request?

Hey @alexander_moen, there are a few benefits 1) You can see the Roamer neighborhood internet speed rating before you decide which listings to message 2) When you click the button, the message instantly appears without you needing to type anything 3) You can edit the message template to include other questions that you may have for every host (e.g. "Does your place have a workstation?") Hope this helps!
