MacLeech They can use 5g outside the home and 5g alone is cheaper than 5g and Comcast.
We’re talking about 5G fixed wireless, which is an additional cost on top of your cell phone plan.
Using only your cell phone for internet isn’t very feasible, which is why most people subscribe to some type of home internet also.
Verizon fixed wireless is anywhere from $35-70/month, depending on if you’re a Verizon wireless customer also, and the speeds are capped at 300/20Mb in most areas.
Why would someone pick that instead of $30-45 Comcast “NOW”?
Donut417 last I check Verizon is cheaper for us. Comcast charges us $66 a month for 150 Mbps plus they have our area data capped. Verizon is unlimited.
Comcast prepaid is $30-45/month, and comes with unlimited data.
You could be paying $30 instead and getting 100/20Mb
MacLeech Meanwhile, most are perfectly fine with the 5g connection on their mobile device for communications, social media, and watching videos.
Most people also have a TV, a laptop, a tablet, etc.
Sure, you can use the personal hotspot feature on your phone, but most plans severely throttle the hotspot speeds, and throttle video streaming over cellular to 480p.
And what happens when you leave the house and need to take your phone with you?
Just not realistic for most people.
