I've gone from writing about SD-WAN to depending on it

Starlink and 5G home internet are helping close the digital divide, but they're far from perfect.

• Glue them together, and you can get awfully close.
• This spring, my wife and I moved from the Denver suburbs into the Colorado Rockies.
• The high-altitude retreat presented a welcome reprieve from our otherwise tech-dominated lives.

What happened

As remote workers, however, we faced certain challenges, and technology was the only reason our move was possible in the first place. Prior to my time at El Reg , I, among other things, breathlessly covered a subset of the networking industry, which as it happens had become big business following the COVID-19 outbreak and the pandemic that followed.

Why it matters
