Fixed Wireless Internet. I started talking about it years ago. Here’s an article from 2019 when I was already saying it was late in coming. It’s a really cool idea… dump the cable company, put a simple device in your home, and you have internet. When there is more than one choice for internet, the competition makes everyone better and the customer wins.
I’ll admit that fixed wireless internet has had a slow start. But here in 2024, it’s the hot new thing that everyone wants. All the major providers are working on fixed wireless options, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the dominant way people get internet at home by 2030.
Wireless internet isn’t available everywhere. It seems like the carriers are being very conservative. They don’t want to deliver a bad solution that just drives people back to cable internet. So, they’re only making the service available in areas where people will get great service. That means you generally need to be within about 500 feet of a 5G cell tower. That sounds like a pretty big hurdle but cell carriers are working hard to bring those new towers online.
Another important piece of the puzzle is making sure the connection is good within your home. Depending on your needs, there might need to be an external antenna. In other cases you just plop the device down on a bookshelf and turn it on.
It’s still pretty early times for fixed wireless internet. Those people who do qualify — and that group is getting bigger all the time — are very happy with the service. All the major carriers are working to improve things to meet the massive demand for this new tech.
