So they'll check the location for Metronet fiber. That's the best lifespan of customer. If they can't get it with fiber, then get cheap internet with 5G. Yes, Tmobile sold all of their wireline to Cogent and then bought Metronet fiber.

This might just let them use the same tools for qualification, signup, etc. Or it might mean they view FWA as a precursor to fiber rollout. Sign up home Internet customers using 5G, then where you have concentrations of customers, roll out fiber? That way you avoid running out of celltower capacity, and you capture the customers and keep them away from competitors. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
