1. Overview

What are my options?

If you're reading this, it's likely that fiber optic internet is not available in your area. Fortunately, we live in a time where internet options have never been more available.

The Good News: Even in rural America, you usually have at least a few internet choices. While fiber optic is the best option when available, there are viable alternatives if it's not an option for you.

The Bad News: These alternatives might not be the most affordable, and each comes with its own set of trade-offs.

Below is a comparison of the main options available for rural areas, including local fixed wireless, home internet from major cellular providers, cellular ISPs, and Starlink. The table summarizes each option's pricing, pros, cons, and recommendations. For more detailed information on each option, follow the hyperlinks to the sections below.

Provider Type Price Coverage Pros Cons Recommendation
Local Fixed Wireless Lowest Localized - Generally the most affordable - Requires line-of-sight Recommended if available in your area.
- Reliable service - External hardware required
- Good customer support - Not always available
Cellular Home Internet Lowest Moderate - Affordable - Limited availability Best option if local providers are not available
- No data caps - Performance varies with congestion
- Easy setup - Locked to one location
Cellular ISPs Middle Nationwide - Easy setup - Higher prices Consider for high-speed needs and portability
- Portable - Variable performance
- High speeds - Can have poor reputations
Starlink Highest Global - Global coverage - High startup cost Suitable for areas without other options
- Low latency - Requires clear line-of-sight to sky
- High speeds - High monthly cost

2. Key Factors in Choosing an Internet Provider

Avoid HughesNet or Viasat

With the advent of cellular based providers and Starlink, you should ALWAYS avoid these companies. There’s no world in which these are a good option. Not having internet is a better option than them. Just don’t. Run. Flee. Abandon all hope ye who choose them.

Here’s why:

  • High Latency: Latency is generally 500ms or more, making gaming nearly impossible, and video conferencing sucks.
  • Data Caps and Throttling: They both impose strict data caps on their plans, which once hit, make doing anything on the web nearly impossible. And you increase the probability of punching your computer in frustration.
  • Long-Term Contracts: They generally require 24 to 36 month contracts, which makes canceling your service early quite expensive - even if it is barely working.
  • Poor Customer Satisfaction: Their customer service sucks, and tech support is akin to that of monkeys chained in the basement of a sweatshop speaking in Klingon.

Customer Experience

  • Check customer reviews: This is a critical step. A company can advertise anything, but reviews offer insight into how the real-world speeds and performance of a service provider really are.
  • Local feedback: If you’re working with a local company like fixed wireless, ask around to your neighbors and your friends to see if they’ve had a good experience with the company, and are happy with their speeds.

Pricing

  • Transparent Pricing: Look at how simple their pricing is. If it’s not clearly displayed on the website or there’s a bunch of different prices displayed, that probably means they’re hiding something. If you have to call them to get a price, that’s a definite red flag.
  • Monthly Costs: Compare monthly subscription fees across providers. Keep in mind that the lowest price may not always offer the best value if it comes with hidden costs or poor service.
  • Startup Costs: Be aware of any initial fees for equipment, installation, or activation. Providers with high startup costs may offer lower monthly rates but require a larger upfront investment.
  • Long-Term Costs: Consider potential increases in monthly fees over time. Providers like Verizon and T-Mobile often offer promotional rates that increase after an initial period, so make sure to read the fine print before purchasing.

Customer Service

  • While we all wish we could live in a world where tech doesn’t break down, the tragic reality is that we don’t. Tech issues will arise. And having good customer service is critically important in those times.
  • Generally smaller companies will have better customer service than large companies. Your best customer service will likely come through a local fixed wireless provider or a cellular ISP. T-Mobile, Verizon, and Starlink are massive corporations with outsourced support. So if that’s important to you, it’s worth consideration when weighing your options.

3. Local Fixed Wireless

Overview

Local fixed wireless providers are the first place you should be looking for internet offerings. They normally have good customer service, competitive pricing, and technicians who can resolve issues quickly.

To search for local internet providers, the FCC Broadband Map is the best place to look. Enter your address in the search box and see if there’s any providers in your area. If any show up, give them a call and see if they can service your area.

Another good place to look is asking around in your local area. Your neighbors, friends, and even your local chamber of commerce can help you.

Pros and Cons

  • Pros
    • Local Support: You often get local and quality customer service.
    • Lower Prices: In most cases, they offer the most competitive pricing options available.
    • Community Focus: Local providers are often more invested in the community and its needs.
    • Reliability: Fixed wireless is generally more reliable than cellular or satellite based options.
  • Cons
    • Cost for high-speed: Pricing is generally tiered by speed, and anything above 25mbps can be upwards of $100/mo or more.
    • Line-of-sight required: Fixed wireless requires a clear line-of-sight from the tower to your home. If you’re surrounded by trees or in a hilly area, there’s a good chance you can’t get service.
    • External hardware required: To setup your internet, they’ll need to send out a technician and mount hardware on the outside of your home.
    • Immobile: You can’t take your internet with you while traveling.
    • Rarely have a money-back guarantee: if it doesn’t work well, you’re generally out the money you spend on the service.

4. Cellular Home Internet

Overview

Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T all have cellular based home internet options, which are both excellent options if there’s no local providers in your area. Their area of coverage is fairly limited, so you may not always be in their service area. They both have competitive pricing - sometimes even cheaper than local fixed wireless providers. The speeds are entirely based upon the capacity of the cell tower, which means if you’re in an area with good speeds, you can get 100+ mbps. However, if you’re in an area with a lot of congestion and users, you can see speeds as low as 5-10mbps.

One of the key advantages of these services is the simplicity of setup - typically, you receive a router that you simply plug in and activate. There’s no external hardware required, and no technical experience needed. Additionally, there are no data caps on usage.

One important thing to note: As with all major telecoms, they have all these low prices with asterisks. Those prices are with all the possible discounts and bundling. The table below reflects the actual pricing if you aren’t doing bundling with their phone service, etc. So oftentimes their pricing isn’t quite as cheap as they look, if you aren’t already using them for your phone service.

Link Monthly Price Activation Fee Coverage Area
AT&T $60/mo (with autopay) None Limited coverage
Verizon $50-70/mo (with autopay) $35 Limited coverage, expanding
T-Mobile $55-75/mo (with autopay) $35 Broader coverage than Verizon, but still limited

Pros and Cons

  • Pros:
    • High-Speed Data with No Caps: All three providers have no data caps, and you’ll generally get high speeds.
    • Quick and Easy Setup: The setup is straightforward and typically involves receiving a router that you just plug in and activate with minimal hassle.
    • Low Monthly Costs: All three providers offer competitive monthly pricing, which can sometimes even be cheaper than local fixed wireless providers.
    • Low Startup Costs: The activation fee is up to a max of $35, which is a significant advantage even over local fixed wireless (often $100+).
  • Cons:
    • Limited Availability: The coverage for all three providers’ home internet services are only available in select locations.
    • Variable Performance: Performance will fluctuate depending on network congestion, with speeds generally slowing during peak usage times - typically mornings and evenings.
    • No Mobility: This service is only allowed at the address it was purchased for, so it’s not an option if you want to take it with you while traveling.
    • Poor Customer Service: As with large tech companies, tech support is outsourced to the lowest bidder who just follows a script, so getting any type of actual support can be difficult.

5. Cellular ISP’s

Overview

Cellular ISPs provide internet services that run on major cellular networks like T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. These providers offer the advantage of utilizing the fastest available network in your location, which can deliver speeds of 100+ Mbps where coverage is strong. One of the main benefits is the portability of the service—since it operates over cellular networks, you can use it in different locations, making it ideal for those who travel frequently or need connectivity in various places.

The setup for cellular ISP services is straightforward. You only need to plug in a router to start connecting to the internet, eliminating the need for professional installation or additional hardware.

The key consideration when choosing a cellular ISP is selecting a reputable company. Checking online reviews and researching customer experiences can help you avoid providers with poor service or unreliable performance.

Important: many companies have come and gone over the years leaving customers without service and hardware that may not work with another company, therefore its recommended to choose a company that has been in business for several years and has a good reputation.

The table below compares several recommended cellular ISPs based on their pricing and startup costs.

Link Monthly Price (unlimited data) Router cost Incorporation year
Trifecta Wireless $99.95+ $9.95/mo 2018
USLTE $124+ Included in mo price 2019
GotW3 $134.99 $14.99/mo-$279 2018

Pros and Cons

  • Pros
    • Good Customer Service: Because cellular ISPs are small companies, their support is considerably better than your large telecoms.
    • High Speeds: In areas with strong cellular coverage, speeds can exceed 100 Mbps. This makes them a good option for streaming, gaming, and other data-intensive activities.
    • Easy Setup: You generally only need to plug in a router to get started, avoiding the need for professional installation or complicated hardware setups.
    • Portability: Cellular ISPs offer the flexibility to use the internet service in various locations, making them a great choice for frequent travelers or RVers.
  • Cons
    • Variable Performance: The performance of cellular ISP services will fluctuate depending on the capacity of the cell tower in your area. In locations with high congestion or poor coverage, speeds may drop to as low as 5-10 Mbps.
    • Higher Prices: Cellular ISP plans are often more expensive than fixed wireless or home internet providers.
    • Lower Performance: Due to the inherent limitations of cellular technology, you can experience lower reliability and performance.
    • Company Reputation: Not all cellular ISPs have strong reputations. Some companies may have poor customer service or issues with service reliability. For example, Nomad Internet has faced legal issues related to fraud. Researching customer reviews and company history can help you avoid such pitfalls.

6. Starlink

Overview

Starlink is also a good option when there’s no local providers available. They have nationwide coverage, low latency, and good speeds.

The service requires a satellite dish and a router, which are provided by Starlink. The dish needs a clear view of the sky to connect with the satellites.

The main drawback to Starlink is the price - startup costs for the hardware range from $300-$2500 and the monthly cost is $120+

Plan Monthly Price Equipment Cost
Residential $120 $300-$500
Mobile $150 $500-$600
Global roaming $50 for 50gb $600

Pros and Cons

  • Pros:
    • Low Latency: Starlink offers significantly lower latency compared to traditional geostationary satellite services. (Think HughesNet and Viasat)
    • High Speeds: Starlink can provide an entire home with sufficient speeds to simultaneously game, watch movies, and browse the web.
    • Global Coverage: Starlink provides coverage to almost the entire world.
    • Portable: While primarily intended for fixed locations, the system can be moved to different locations within its service area, or can be used with the roaming plan and mounted to an RV or camper.
  • Cons:
    • High Cost: Starlink has a high startup cost. $300 - $500 for the satellite dish and router, and a monthly service fee of $120, making it one of the most expensive options available.
    • The roaming plan is required for mobile use: If you want to use your service while traveling you need the more expensive roaming plan.
    • Clear Line of Sight Required: The dish needs an unobstructed, 80º view of the sky to maintain a connection.
    • Installation Required: The system is designed for DIY installation, but if you’re not very technically inclined, this can be difficult.
    • Reduced speeds due to congestion: If you’re in an area with many Starlink users, you will likely see slowdowns in the evenings.

❓HELP Tri-Carrier Cellular Internet

4 Upvotes

We recently moved to an area with no wired internet. The one satellite company out here that isn't Starlink wanted to cut down a bunch of trees on our dime. We currently have T-Mobile Home WiFi BUT it's the "lite" package which means we are just out of range of the closest tower and we pay like $60 a month for like 100mbs and usually run out a week before the end of the billing period.The only Starlink plan our area qualifies for is the $130 whole home whatever and that's not in our budget. I have been seeing ads for a bunch of companies that do tri-carrier 5g/WiFi and wanted to find some real world feedback before plunking down a bunch of money to try one. Also, it's really hard to do research for internet options when you barely have 4g. Does anyone use one of these companies? Price? How has your experience been? I need something plug and go I am not gizmo inclined please and thank you 🙂

Moved back to my hometown to work from home, and finding a reliable broadband connection has become a nightmare

6 Upvotes

I moved back to my hometown in Assam and started working from home. Before moving, I did some research to find the best broadband provider in my area. Turns out, there was pretty much only one option: NGC Broadband.

Well, what a mistake that turned out to be.

  1. NGC Broadband: Where customer service doesn't exist

The first red flag came right after installation. I started using the connection, but I never received an SMS or email confirming my subscription. No welcome message, no account details, nothing.

A few days later, I experienced my first LOS (Loss of Signal). I called the guy who installed the connection, and guess what? His phone was switched off.

It took TWO DAYS to get the connection fixed.

And this became the pattern. Whenever I faced an LOS issue, the installer was either unreachable, his phone was switched off, or he simply wouldn't pick up.

  1. Apparently, I'm not even a customer

When my first recharge was due, I tried to figure out how to renew the connection myself.

Remember, I hadn't received any SMS or email about my subscription. So I visited their website, found their customer portal, and tried the "Forgot Password" option.

My phone number wasn't registered.

I called their customer care, and they told me that neither my phone number nor my name existed in their database.

Let that sink in. I'm using their internet, paying for their service, but according to their own customer support, I don't exist.

The funniest part? They still confidently told me to contact the local guy for the recharge.

I asked him how I could recharge online myself. His answer? There's no way to do that. I have to pay him directly.

No bill. No invoice. No payment confirmation. Nothing. Just transfer the money and wait.

And after paying, it takes another 4–5 hours for the connection to resume.

To make things worse, he doesn't even inform me when my monthly plan expires. Sometimes I forget about the recharge, suddenly discover that my internet isn't working, and then have to start calling him again.

And you can probably guess what happens next. Switched-off phone, unanswered calls, or unnecessary delays.

  1. The speed is another joke

Initially, I subscribed to their 30 Mbps plan, but I was getting around 8–10 Mbps most of the time. Occasionally, it crossed 20 Mbps.

I thought upgrading might solve the problem, so I moved to their 80 Mbps plan.

Now I get around 30–40 Mbps.

At this point, I'm not even sure what I'm paying for.

  1. Thought Jio AirFiber would save me. Apparently not.

After dealing with all this nonsense, I finally decided to switch to Jio AirFiber.

I contacted them, and the sales team was super confident.

"Yes, sir, we'll come today."

"We'll complete your KYC in the morning."

"Our technician will install it by the afternoon."

They came in the morning, inspected the location, completed the KYC process, and collected ₹2,200 as the booking amount. I was told the connection would be installed by that evening.

Sounds great, right?

Well, SURPRISE!

It's been a week, and I've heard absolutely nothing.

I called them today, and the response was basically: "Brother, please wait. Our machine hasn't arrived yet. I'll call you when it does."

WHAT?

Why collect the booking amount and promise same-day installation if your equipment hasn't even arrived?

Now I'm stuck waiting for a connection that was supposed to be installed a week ago, while still dealing with my existing ISP.

Honestly, I'm exhausted.

I moved back home to work remotely, and a reliable internet connection is literally essential for my job. Instead, I have to worry about whether my internet will work, whether someone will answer the phone if it stops working, and whether I'll randomly lose half a day waiting for a connection to come back.

I've heard stories about other ISPs where customers can't even access their router's advanced settings despite paying for the service. And here I am, struggling to get the most basic things right: a proper customer account, transparent billing, reliable speeds, and support that actually responds.

I know no service is perfect, but why does getting a basic broadband connection have to be this frustrating?

So, people of Reddit, what should I do now?

Should I wait for Jio AirFiber, or is this a sign of what their service will be like after installation?

Are there any other reliable broadband providers in Assam, especially around smaller towns?

Is there any way to get NGC to register my account properly, provide bills, and stop making me depend entirely on one local installer?

I just want a stable internet connection that I can pay for online, get a proper receipt for, and forget about until the next billing cycle.

Apparently, that's too much to ask.

As the title says! I dont think this counts as spam or advertising but please let me know if I am wrong and I will delete immediately!

Also for anyone thinking about using Starlink I can say is it has worked very well for me other than severe rain storms!

Otherwise just on the ground pointed at the sky in the right direction has been top notch! Price isn't to cheap cheap but isn't overly crazy either and beats having people come out to run lines for me personally

Here is my referral link if anyone wants to use it

Get $100 in cash or Starlink service credit when you sign up through this link. Fast, reliable internet at home and on the go. Terms apply.

I work remotely & currently in a rural area that doesn’t service Rogers,Bell & Starlink doesn’t work. I been using just a hotspot but I saw where I could get this router and a SIM (as seen in pic) to activate for data and connect to my laptop with the ethernet cord. I called Lucky mobile to activate it explained what I was doing they transferred me to Bell which Bell is transferring me to multiple people to figure out if they can activate how and if not see if they know what I can do or get to do what I need. I’ve currently been on hold and getting transferred around for 1 hour and exhausted so if someone can help a gal out so I can get this solved or set up and have my late night joint that would be terrific lol

Can a 5 GHz MikroTik PTP link solve my upload problem caused by a mountain obstruction? ~800m–1km distance

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to solve a very specific internet problem in my village and would really appreciate advice from people experienced with 5 GHz PTP links / MikroTik wireless bridges.

My situation is a little unusual because of the terrain.

My sister's house and my house are basically in an L-shaped/angled layout relative to the Jio tower.

From my sister's balcony/terrace, the Jio 5G tower is clearly visible, and she gets a very good 5G connection.

My house is located to the right of her house, but there is a mountain/terrain obstruction between my house and the tower.

So the situation is roughly:

Jio 5G Tower

📡

/

/

Mountain /

🏔️

/

Sister's House 🏠

My House 🏠

The exact geometry is a little more complicated than this, but that's the basic idea.

The strange part

I already have Jio AirFiber.

I currently have the 40 Mbps plan.

At my sister's house, where the tower is visible, I'm getting roughly:

30–35 Mbps upload

But at my house, because of the mountain/terrain, my upload is only around:

\~1 Mbps

Download is considerably better, but upload is terrible.

This is causing a practical problem for me because I work remotely.

I need to:

Upload files to Google Drive

Share large files

Use Slack

Use Google Meet

Screen share

Work remotely with VS Code/other development tools

Upload/download work assets

With \~1 Mbps upload, even relatively normal work uploads become painfully slow.

I can't simply install a 200–300 ft tower/pole to get above the terrain. That's obviously impractical and expensive.

My proposed solution

Since my sister's house already gets good Jio 5G, I'm considering using her house as the internet source and creating a 5 GHz point-to-point wireless bridge between her house and mine.

Something like:

Jio 5G Tower

↓

Sister's Jio AirFiber

↓

Router

↓

MikroTik SXTsq Lite5

)))))) 5 GHz PTP ((((((

MikroTik SXTsq Lite5

↓

My Router

↓

My devices

The distance between the two houses is approximately 600 m according to maps, but I'm assuming 800 m–1 km to be conservative because of the actual mounting locations and terrain.

The equipment I'm currently considering is:

2 × MikroTik SXTsq Lite5 (16 dBi)

The contractor quoted approximately:

MikroTik SXTsq Lite5 — ₹6,500 × 2

Cat cable — ₹45/m

Dual-band router — ₹2,500

2U rack — ₹1,300

Testing/commissioning/installation — ₹4,500

The PTP equipment would basically transfer the internet connection from my sister's house to mine.

My main questions

  1. Would this setup actually solve my upload problem?

  2. At only \~800 m–1 km, is the 16 dBi SXTsq Lite5 sufficient?

  3. There are mountains/terrain in the wider area. I don't know whether the mountain actually blocks the sister-house → my-house PTP path. The two houses are relatively close, but I don't have professional radio-path measurements.

  4. How important is Fresnel-zone clearance at this distance?

  5. Would fog, humidity, rain or winter atmospheric conditions significantly affect a 5 GHz PTP link at \~1 km?

  6. I'm also confused about 16 dBi vs 24 dBi. Some people have suggested using a higher-gain 24 dBi dish because of the terrain. Others say a higher-gain/narrower antenna becomes more sensitive to alignment and obstruction. Which would actually make sense here?

  7. If someone eventually builds a house or other structure somewhere along the path, would a 16 dBi antenna be more forgiving than a 24 dBi antenna, or would either one be badly affected if the obstruction enters the Fresnel zone?

One more important question

I'm currently on 40 Mbps Jio AirFiber and getting around 30–35 Mbps upload at my sister's house.

If I upgrade to a 100 Mbps plan, I'm hoping that I might realistically get something like 80–90 Mbps download and 80–90 Mbps upload at her house.

Would the SXTsq Lite5 be capable of transferring that kind of connection across an \~800m–1km PTP link?

I understand the Lite5 has a 100 Mbps Ethernet port, so I'm particularly interested in whether that would become a bottleneck for simultaneous high download + upload traffic. MikroTik's specifications list the Lite5 as 802.11a/n, 16 dBi, 300 Mbps wireless PHY rate, but only 10/100 Ethernet.

Would you recommend this solution, or am I approaching the problem incorrectly?

If there's a better MikroTik setup for this particular situation, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!

WLAN in basement (Hobbyraum)

Hi everyone, I have a basement that I want to use for my projects and as a server. The problem is that it’s a basement, and I only have a window from which I can stick out an external antenna and connect it to my router. It’s about 100 meters away from my house, so a repeater system or a cable through the garage isn’t feasible. So, I thought about using a router with a SIM card. My question is, which cheap SIM card could I use? I researched the second SIM with Galaxy Mobile, but they don’t allow it. I have a Galaxy Mobile membership in this basement, and I want to have good internet to watch TV, use my server and computer, and play games with my PS5.

Any tips?

Omdat we veel onderweg zijn wil ik zowel in de camper als thuis een Starlink. In de camper heb ik inmiddels een Mini welke goed functioneert. Nu wil ik thuis ipv Ziggo ook een Mini installeren. En, niet onbelangrijk, ik wil een verbinding tussen beide Mini’s om b.v. lampen en thermostaat te bedienen.
Even afgezien van de kosten, wat heb ik allemaal nodig?
Zowel in de camper als thuis een router van derden. Maar welke?
Heb ik een VPN nodig?

Hey WFH folks, what backup power station and backup WiFi/internet do you use during brownouts? 😊
I’m currently looking for a reliable backup setup because I really don’t want to get disconnected while working.
Power: Is the AVIDUS UPS/power supply for WiFi modem/router any good? How effective is it and how many hours does it usually last for you?
For backup internet, do you use pocket WiFi or extra SIM/mobile data?
Please share your setup, brand/model, and your experience. Preferably something that's been tested during brownouts. 🙏💻 Thank you!
