C Spire announced a partnership with Inseego to provide a fixed wireless access (FWA) 5G Home Internet service aimed at addressing the 23% of Mississippi households without reliable internet. The service promises download speeds of up to 100 Mbps and includes Inseego's 5G Wavemaker FX3110 router, supporting up to 64 devices. With broadband demand rising, FWA is gaining traction and has shown higher customer satisfaction compared to other technologies. This service, launched on January 19, 2023, will help bridge the digital divide and enhance educational and economic opportunities in the state.
"Reliable internet service is no longer optional to support opportunities for education, economic development, and technological opportunities in communities we serve," Craig Jackson, the senior vice president and general manager of consumer markets for C Spire said in the announcement.
"The launch of 5G Home Internet is another way C Spire is adding value for our customers and bridging the digital divide by increasing connectivity in our home state."
FWA is rapidly gaining market share... FWA accounted for 104% of total net broadband additions during 2023 among providers offering more than 95% of broadband lines.
Satisfaction scores for 5G FWA ranged from 775 to about 825 on a 1,000-point scale, depending on the provider.
