Dish Network 5G Internet?

[NYDutch]

Will Dish 5g be safe to use around airports or will they shut it off as other carriers have?

Only those 5G installations near airports that used certain C-band frequencies were at issue. The FAA has now certified most aircraft models for low visibility landings at those airports.

With the help of "Trip" we have found seven towers with Dish antennas being installed in the small town of Bella Vista, AR. The tower that is only 4,200' away from me appears to be completed. It has Cox fiber for it. One tower that is about four miles away is just now having the antennas installed. I talked to the installers there and they informed me of another tower that they just finished about six miles away. There is another tower about five miles away that has the antennas and equipment installed, but nothing is hooked up yet. This one will be fed by AT&T fiber. The other towers are six+ miles away.

Being Bentonville which is scheduled to be active by June borders Bella Vista I am hoping I will be included.

Nice price! Nicer if my iPhone XS Max would work on it.

Even better if service was available for the 25419 zip code in WV!!! I know, I'm getting the Vapors.

$30?! That phone is a tad costly though.

Yeah, I agree, if my iPhone won't work on it (unless they have a legacy 4G, which I don't care about how fast) then even $30 for unlimited is too much. Have they learned nothing that you don't mess with the Apple eco-system? 1/2 of their subscriber base just vanished.

Even though I need a new phone and phone service I am more interested in their internet service.

I didn't read it. Have you seen where they are also offering a separate home interest service (same $30) and supply the Wifi 6 router?

No, I have not read anything about internet service plans. I need this at my home. Hopefully more about this will come out next week at Team Summit.

Will DISH new 5G service be just cell phone service only? Will there be home service too with modems & routers?

Starting off as cell only... but somewhere down the line they will offer home internet.

Thanks Scott. Getting excited.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Me too, and for those neigh sayers saying it would never happen... well it's happening.

I guess I better not cancel my Starlink (late 2022) order just yet. This and Dish are my only options for high speed internet service.
