FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT CAN I EXPECT WITH WAVE 7 INTERNET?
An internet service provider that is reliably fast, affordable, and locally run. All connections are secure and encrypted. Local and resilient redundant connections automatically failover and keep the network running smoothly.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Local network operators install a small antenna (about the size of a dinner plate) on your home that connects with other antennas in your neighborhood. Together you and your neighbors create a network. You can earn revenue by being part of the network as well!
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER INTERNET PROVIDERS?
The Wave 7 network functions as a standard and “normal ISP” (internet service provider) whereby a system of antennas spreads a high-speed connection, and a router in your home provides Internet.
With legacy and Big Telco networks, the antennas and infrastructure are owned by one entity, which can be located miles away. The Wave 7 network is hosted by people right here in your community which means the revenue and ownership of the network stay local.
WHY DO IT THIS WAY?
Wave 7 steadfastly believes that rural communities should and must have the same access to high-speed Internet broadband as big cities. In today’s competitive world, connectivity is essential to everyday life, from education to farming and business. By leveraging our customer network, Wave 7 builds networks agilely – affordable to areas with a smaller or spread-out population. We’re consistently fast and reliable!
IS IT FAST?
YES! Wave 7 networks use cutting-edge technology to provide the fastest speed and best user experience. Modern antennas can easily provide similar services to wired networks.
WHAT IS THE COST?
Similar to a pre-paid phone, you pay a small monthly fee for service and then only pay for what you use. The cost per GB ranges from about 5 to 15 cents; on average most families pay about $40-$60 a month.
IS MY CONNECTION SECURE?
YES! All local connections are fully encrypted using Wireguard, and we are committed to net neutrality – your content will never be censored or throttled.
WHERE IS THE INTERNET CONNECTION COMING FROM?
Wave 7 works in conjunction with municipal, open access, and local middle mile carriers to provide the best connection for customers. The network software automatically chooses the best connection for you on a second-by-second basis.
