Mobile Broadband Product Guide

Why Mobile Broadband?

Benefits of Mobile Broadband

• Free from Landline: Enjoy Internet & Cable Connection Mobility. Mobile broadband utilizes wireless network technology, ideal for areas lacking wired access and offering flexibility to move connections.
• More Bang for Your Buck: Faster Internet Speed. Activate service on the same day, saving time and money. 4G LTE offers speeds comparable to fixed broadband, while 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) can reach up to 1 Gbps.
