C Spire Unveils 25 Mbps Fixed Wireless Expansion In addition to the company's selective deployment of gigabit fiber, Southern wireless carrier C Spire this week stated it's planning a notable expansion of ultra-fast fixed-wireless broadband. A company announcement indicates that the carrier is expanding its ultra-fast broadband Internet and wireless fiber-based fixed Internet to more than 250,000 consumers and small businesses in cities and towns across Mississippi. The company says these services will piggyback on an 8,000 mile fiber backbone across Mississippi.

C Spire says it will deliver broadband to over 250,000 residents and businesses with speeds ranging from 25 Mbps in underserved areas, 100 Mbps in other communities to 1 Gbps for small businesses using the latest fiber optic and fixed wireless technologies, “As a Mississippi-based technology company, we are uniquely positioned to ensure that our state is not left behind in the technology revolution,” C Spire says of the initiative. While the fixed wireless offering will begin at 25 Mbps, the company hopes to ultimately boost speeds to 1 Gbps. C Spire took a few pot shots at competing fixed wireless offerings from the likes of AT&T, which currently top out at 10 Mbps downstream. “Unlike competitors that are rolling out fixed wireless products of 10 Mbps as part of the FCC Connect America Fund commitment, our initial privately funded roll out will have typical throughput of 25 Mbps, a speed the FCC defined in 2015 as basic broadband Internet,” the company says of the looming offering. “Unlike competitors that are rolling out fixed wireless products of 10 Mbps as part of the FCC Connect America Fund commitment, our initial privately funded roll out will have typical throughput of 25 Mbps, a speed the FCC defined in 2015 as basic broadband Internet,” the company says of the looming offering.

Belzoni, MS 2 recommendations stephend2 Member We shall see... "Up to 25mbps download, 3mbps upload" $55/month. $99 installation. $10/month wireless router.



We do 50m/15m in our cable footprint for the same price and $40 install which is in a market they initially announced this service.



We do 25m/10m for $50/month in our wireless footprint in surrounding areas.



I'm waiting to see if you even get a public ip address with this service. There is some fine print on the website that states it's for typical internet usage not video surveillance or other applications that require a static ip address.



I'm waiting to see if they manage it the same way they do their cell network... If so, good luck....
