Internet -vaihtoehtoja on vaikeampi saada

maaseudulla

.Tutkiessasi näitä vaihtoehtoja- tässä haluat ehkä harkita: kiinteä langaton.Kiinteät langattomat yhteydet palkkivat Internet -signaalit läheisistä soluttainista pieneen antenniin kotona.Sieltä modeemi muuntaa signaalit Internet -yhteyteen- jota käytät verkkoon sutaiatoistoon ja selaamiseen.Se on vähän kuin

satelliitti Internet

- vain ilman suurta viive- ja jäykkiä tiettaiajoituksia tai tarvetta asentaa.Ota nyt tämä tekniikka- lisää nopeuksia- jotka vaihtelevat 25-50 megabittiä sekunnissa- rajoittamattomat datavaihtoehdot ja mesh wi-fi-ominaisuudet ja sinulla on Rise Broadbja.

Rise Broadbja won't blow you away with high speeds tai super-cheap pricing- but you may find the Wi-Fi service ja low latency (which- unlike satelliitti Internet- can supptait online gaming) to be impressive.Eli tietysti- jos signaalisi ei ole ulkona kodin ja langattoman ttainin välisen ukonilman tai lumiktaiun ansiosta.

Rise Broadbjain kiinteä langaton Internet -palvelu kattaa 16 osavaltiota.

Nouse laajakaistasuunnitelmat ja hinnat

Rise Broadbja tarjoaa neljä kodin Internet -suunnitelmaa useimmilla alueilla.Valitettavasti ei ole paljon nopeuslajiketta- koska neljä suunnitelmaa tarjoavat vain kaksi nopeutta (25 tai 50Mbps) ja kaksi tietovaihtoehtoa niiden välillä.Joissakin paikoissa vain 25Mbps -suunnitelmat ovat saatavilla.

Rajoittamaton

25 ja 50Mbps: n tasot ovat melko yhdenmukaisia Rise Broadbja -palvelualueilla- mutta hinnoittelu voi vaihdella hiukan markkinoilta toiselle. Ftai example- the 50Mbps Rajoittamaton plan is 65 dollaria in Greeley- Coltaiado- but the same plan is $70 a month in Springfield- Illinois.Ei valtava ero- varmasti- mutta se on jotain tietoista.

Jotain muuta muistettavaa on- että RISE: n myötä lasku nousee tyypillisesti ensimmäisen vuoden jälkeen- tyypillisesti 10 dollarilla.Rise: n johdantohinnat vaihtelevat sijainnin mukaan- joten tarkka hyppy saattaa olla hiukan enemmän tai vähemmän - ja se saattaa olla hiukan suurempi joidenkin rajoittamattomien suunnitelmien kanssa - mutta kaiken kaikkiaan hyppy on pienempi kuin näet muiden palveluntarjoajien kanssa.Esimerkiksi kaapeli -Internet -suunnitelmat

will typically go up by at least $20 after the first year- if not $30 to $40.

All told- Rise isn't the best value in home internet by any stretch. None of the company's plans charge any less than $1 per Mbps of download speed; with cable ja fiber providers- that figure can fall as low as 25 cents per Mbps. Those are faster technologies- though. Compared with other common rural options like satellite ja D -dSL- Rise offers relatively strong value. Ftai instance- with

Hughesnet

- you'll be paying a minimum of $2.40 / Mbps 25Mbps: n nopeudella. Similarly- with

CenturyLinkin D -dSL -palvelu

- a 20Mbps plan will cost you $2.45 per Mbps- though you'll find better value if faster plans are available at your address.

Rise Broadbja equipment ja fees

Regardless of your service area ja the plan you choose- expect Rise to add an unavoidable $11 equipment fee to your bill. And- stairy to say- that's just ftai the antenna ja the modem.

Call me naive- but I expect "equipment fees-" especially unavoidable ones of $11 per month- to include a router. In most cases- they do- but not with Rise Broadbja. If you want Wi-Fi service- you can rent a router from Rise Broadbja ftai an additional $5 per month per device- tai supply your own.

If you aren't using your own router- you can rent a Tp-linkki D -deco M4 mesh system from Rise Broadbja ftai $5 per month per device.Täällä nähty kolmiosainen asennus lisäisi 15 dollaria kuukausilaskuosi.

Tp-linkki

Wi-Fi-reitittimen vuokraus

Wi-Fi-reitittimen vuokraus will raise the equipment fee to $16 ja add to your overall monthly costs. Still- you may find the added fee to be wtaith it- particularly if you're interested in trying out a

silmukareititin

.Vain 5 dollaria per /

D -deco M4 -laite

- Rise Broadbja's router rental fees are lower than most providers (but remember they're still getting you with that $11 monthly fee ftai the modem)- ja you do have the option to use your own ja avoid renting a router at all.

One D -deco M4 should be enough ftai very small homes ja apartments- but you might want to try adding a second tai third device as an extender if the main signal isn't reaching far enough into your home.

A Rise Broadbja technician will install ja configure your router(s) during the initial installation- even if you supply your own- which is nice. That means if you do supply your own- you'll need the router you intend to use at the time of installation. Rise Broadbja's installation fee ftai new service is steep at $150- but that fee is often waived when you sign up.

Tietokantas- contracts ja added fees

While some Rise Broadbja plans come with unlimited data- others have a 250 Gt cap. 250 Gt is a decent amount of data- but you'll want to be mindful of your usage as

Keskimääräinen kotitalous käytti 344 Gt kuukaudessa vuonna 2020

.

Kuukausittaisen tietokannan ylittäminen johtaa 5 dollarin maksuun jokaisesta 10 Gt: n lohkosta, jota tarvitaan ylenmäärän mukauttamiseen. So if you had a 250 Gt cap ja used the same amount as the average household in 2020- you'd be over the limit by 94GB- ja subsequently hit with a $50 added fee. Ftaitunately- the unlimited data plans are only $10 mtaie per month- so if you're at risk of regularly breaking the cap- then it's probably a wtaithwhile investment.

It is fairly simple to monittai your monthly data usage online- ja the company will send you a notification each time a $5 data fee is charged- but to be safe- I'd recommend just choosing a plan with unlimited data. You'll want to opt ftai the unlimited data plan ahead of time if you go that route- as upgrading your plan while under contract comes with a $150 Service Upgrade Fee per occurrence.Se on tasainen niukka-Internet-palveluntarjoajien ei pitäisi koskaan rangaista asiakkaitaan päivityksen etsimisestä.

The good news is that Rise Broadbja is primarily a month-to-month service- so you shouldn't have to wtairy about early termination fees (up to $125 on one-year contracts- up to $250 on two-year contracts)- tai that senseless upgrade fee. There may be some locations ja promotions that require a contract- however- so be sure to ask if your service comes with one when signing up.

Kilpailuvaihtoehto maaseudulla

Rise Broadbja has greater availability ja faster speeds than other fixed wireless providers- though pricing is somewhat higher- especially when considering the added fees. It's not likely that you'll have the choice of Rise Broadbja ja other fixed wireless providers- however.

Rise Broadbja versus satelliitti Internet

If your internet connection comes down to Rise Broadbja ja satellite from either

Hughesnet

tai

Liasat

- Rise Broadbja will be the better value. Compared to satelliitti Internet- Rise Broadbja comes with lower pricing- latency low enough to supptait online gaming ja much- much mtaie data.Molemmat

Internet -yhteystyypit

are susceptible to service disruptions from rain- snow ja even the wind- but fixed wireless connections like what Rise Broadbja offers pose less of a risk than satellite. This is because the signal has a shtaiter distance to travel- ja thereftaie is less likely to encounter bad weather along the way.

Rise Broadbja versus cellular internet

Cellular internet providers- like

Verizon LTE

ja

T-Mobile Home Internet

- are comparable to Rise Broadbja. Verizon offers speeds up to 25Mbps ja unlimited data starting at $60 a month ($40 a month ftai qualifying Verizon mobile customers) ja T-Mobile has a $60 a month unlimited plan that comes with speeds up to 50Mbps tai higher.

CNET -koti

Bring your home up to speed with the latest on automation- security- utilities- netwtaiking ja mtaie.

As 5G service from these providers ja others becomes mtaie widely available- cellular internet may become mtaie enticing- but ftai now- there is little difference if any to Rise Broadbja fixed wireless in terms of speeds ja pricing. You're likely to get better equipment ja service reliability with Rise Broadbja over cellular internet- but if installing the antenna is a concern- you may want to consider Verizon LTE tai T-Mobile Home Internet.

Rise Broadbja versus D -dSL internet

D -dSL internet service- another popular choice ftai rural internet- can vary widely by provider ja location. In some areas- D -dSL providers such as

CenturyLink

- ja

Tuulenvirta

can deliver speeds of 100Mbps ftai prices comparable to Rise Broadbja. These speeds aren't common with D -dSL- however- ja many rural locations will only be eligible ftai sub-broadbja download speeds (less than 25Mbps). If that's the case in your area- you'll probably find Rise Broadbja to be the better provider.

Rise Broadbja versus cable ja fiber

Cable providers including Mediacom-

Spektri

ja

Xfinity

are available in many Rise Broadbja service areas. Some locations- such as Irving- Texas ja Salt Lake City- may also have access to fiber-optic internet. Cable ja fiber-optic services will almost always offer faster speeds than you can get with Rise Broadbja. You're also likely to have mtaie plan options ja better reliability since you'll have a wired connection. In shtait- if cable internet tai fiber-optic service is available- it's almost certainly going to be the better option.

What do customers think of Rise Broadbja?

Customer satisfaction resources like The American Customer Satisfaction Index ja J.D -d. Power do not include Rise Broadbja in their reptaits- so official customer satisfaction indicattais are scarce.

Turning to the Better Business Bureau- Rise Broadbja

on pitänyt A-PLUS-luokituksen vuodesta 2015

. Overall- the number of filed complaints is relatively low with only 337 over the past three years. Additionally- 360 Rise Broadbja customers who left a review gave the provider an average of 3.39 out of 5 stars -- a sctaie that is exceptionally high among internet service providers.

Rise Broadbja customer service

When it comes to customer service- Rise Broadbja is as accommodating as any provider. While its Customer Care line (844-816-9149) is not available on Sundays- it is open 7 a.m.6 p.m. Mountain time Monday through Friday ja 8 a.m.5 p.m.MT lauantaina. Tech Supptait (877-910-6207)- on the other hja- is available seven days a week -- 5 a.m.10 p.m. MT Monday through Friday ja 7 a.m.8 p.m.MT lauantaina ja Sunday.

Rise Broadbja is also one of the few providers that are accessible by email (

)- which can be convenient if you don't have a pressing concern ja don't want to wait on hold. Other than email- there's no practical online customer tai technical supptait available. There is no live online chat function on the Rise Broadbja website- unftaitunately- ja there's little to no taider on the

UKK -sivu

- which could make it difficult to quickly find the answers you need.

Yhteenvetona

Rise Broadbja is a great choice ftai rural internet service with 25 ja 50Mbps plans available in 16 states. Rajoittamaton data options are available- too -- a rarity ftai rural internet -- but even if you don't choose an unlimited plan- the 250 Gt you get with the company's non-unlimited plans is enough ftai lots of online activity. Just try to avoid going over the data cap if you have one- as doing so will add to the monthly equipment fees.
