If the building management is amenable to it, and somebody nearby has fiber near the building already, if you get enough residents to sign up for it, they will usually extend to the building and build out at no cost to the building (recouping the fixed costs as part of monthly service). If this is not an option, do you have clear line of site to a building that could service with fixed wireless?
Got it. I think the trouble is our building is only 5 units, 2 of which are occupied by elderly people who likely don’t care. So feels unlikely that Spectrum / AT&T would undergo construction for just 3 new subscribers. (We’re surrounded by much larger apartment buildings, which is probably why they’re wired and we aren’t). Perhaps worth checking on though.
Re: fixed wireless, would that typically offer higher speeds than my current 5G home internet? Verizon advertises my plan as 25-75Mbps upload, but I never see that. I worry it’d be the same with any over the air service, but I haven’t really explored fixed wireless.
