After decades of touring and becoming one of Country’s Music's most iconic figures, Willie Nelson is still traveling almost 200 days of the year.

While constantly on the road, it becomes difficult to update his fan club. Nelson and his crew used to use satellite-based Internet providers, a slow but sure way of updating exclusives, but 
have recently opted into broadband connect cards from providers including AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. This relatively cheap alternative provides faster audio and digital updates to the fan club.
To further speed the process up, Nelson's crew has began using broadband bonding, which layers the speeds and coverages from the cards. Using their connection to Mushroom Networks, they can take up to five broadband connect cards and combine the total bandwidth capacity.
“We have been supplying Internet connectivity to Willie Nelson while he tours across the country since 2002,” says Bill Adams, who owns one of the reseller channel businesses used by Mushroom Networks. “Reliable Internet has becoe a must have while Willie is on the road and the PortaBella has provided that high-speed infallible service. “
