@jeffreywestling Yes, and the @ookla article says it ignores all speed tests with upload speeds over 100 Mbps, when many WISPs, @nxlink included, offer wireless upload speeds of up to 1 Gbps.

In hopes that Congress will resolve ACP funding this month, Nextlink is extending all current ACP customer discounts in full for the month of May and will help ease the transition in the coming months if the program is not renewed.

Thank you @goldmancraig for stopping by @nxlink headquarters yesterday to chat about #internet and #smallbusiness issues. Grateful for your work in the #txlege to bring an additional $1.5 billion to #Texas #ruralbroadband!

@dmbrake @nxlink The C-Band auction method constricts that supply & averages in urban areas with the rural: only companies doing urban mobile need bid for those licenses. CBRS did a lot better at attracting diverse/rural bids

[Claude Aiken @ctaiken]

One big success story of #CBRS is rural coverage, not urban capacity. For example, this is @nxlink's CBRS map as of EOY 2022. And we've lit far more since then.

[Doug Brake @dmbrake]

New drive tests provide real-world evidence that CBRS shared spectrum is sparsely deployed, using only a fraction of available bandwidth, in sharp contrast to C-Band spectrum.

See our new blog post for the details:

You think you want more Mbit/s, but what you really want is lower latency

Construction of the current #Indiana Statehouse was budgeted at $2 million dollars and was completed in 1888 for $1.8 million: a testament to then-Governor Williams' frugality. Renovated again in the 1990's with beautiful results. Pleasure to get to visit today!
