Is it time to try out that wireless internet you see on TV?

All of a sudden, the commercials are everywhere. One company even bought time at the most expensive sporting event in the world. I’m talking about “fixed wireless” internet, which doesn’t need a fiber line at your home in order to work. The commercials promise fast speeds and great results. But does this all really hold up? Here are the facts.

Yes, wireless internet is real

Ten years ago I would have been telling you that wireless internet was a scam. The wireless options at that time were basically non-existent. If there was some sort of wireless internet it was slow and expensive. I would have told you to stay away at all costs.

That was then, and this is now. Thanks to 5G, wireless internet is a reality. It really is possible to get the speed you need without a fiber connection. Generally, this sort of internet requires an outdoor antenna which picks up 5G signals. Those signals go to a 5G router which then provides great speed and fast connections to the whole house. It’s almost as if your phone were outside on the roof and everyone could tether to it… but better.

Several cellular providers are offering “fixed wireless” options. It’s not available in all areas, though. It’s only available where they’ve built out enough capacity to serve customers. It’s not always the same price everywhere, but if you can get it, it’s a viable option compared to your local cable company.

What’s the best choice for wireless internet?

OK, it sounds like wireless internet might be right for you. But who should you work with? Cell phone companies have better customer service than cable companies, but is it really that much better? If you’re going to upgrade, you want to know you have the power of a customer service giant behind you. That’s where Solid Signal comes in.

This is the SIMTELL system offered by Solid Signal and powered by gotW3. It provides fixed wireless internet you can count on. It’s better than the services offered by the cell companies, in two different ways.

The best cell service, no matter where you are

gotW3 is a company that many of us learned about during the pandemic. As people moved from offices to homes, they needed reliable internet service fast. gotW3 delivered with their mix of fixed wireless products. Their technology has only improved since then.

Using the SIMTELL will give you the best results no matter where you are. Its innovative eSIM technology is constantly searching for the fastest speed of any carrier — and it switches automatically to whomever is fastest. You don’t have to do anything. If one carrier gets congested, it will use another one and you won’t even notice. Compare that to the cell phone companies who only provide their own service.

Pair that with the best customer service

Getting great speed is just one part of it. You have to hope that nothing ever breaks, and these boxes are very reliable. But you need to know you have a customer service titan on your side. You need someone who will answer the phone, not just put you on a waiting list.
