All wireless to your house, or a "cord" to your house and wireless from there?

I goes through a 5G receiver from T-Mobile. It's registering over 200 Mbps since I started.

Was curious. It is much better than I thought. Will likely not switch, albeit because I got lucky with my ISP. But it seems to be a good alternative to those stuck with cable.

I don't miss it, although I watch a couple rerun shows if I watch grandkids at their house.

I'm paying 93/month for internet access through suddenlink/altice/optimum. When I cut tv off, the cost for just Internet was $76/month, so it keeps creeping up.

Cas is available, but I have overwhelming inerta, so haven't switched.
