Wireless Internet is a full-time connection; your computer is connected 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Unlike Satellite and Cellular providers, our service is UNLIMITED usage per month. Data rates are slowed to 1Mbps Down and 512Kbps Up once your montly data alloment is used.

Our Residential Service package connects one computer to the Internet, but if you need multiple computers connected or want internal wireless access, you may install a router at anytime. 5D Networks will help you install your wireless router for your convienence.

The installation is usually completed within 1 to 3 hours.

Wireless Internet requires direct or sometimes "near-line-of-sight" from your site to one of our towers, if you don't have line of sight you may not be able to use our service.

Short answer, Yes. Since we use terrestrial-based towers instead of satellites, service is not interrupted by atmospheric conditions. Links are also not affected by fog, smog, light snow or light rain.

The general rule of thumb is that the radio signal will pass through open spaces that doesn't contain metal, trees or interference on the same radio frequencies we use.

NO! Wireless uses ground-based antennas to transmit data to your location. Also, satellite systems have higher latency (the time it takes data to travel between 2 points) since the data has to travel from your location up to the satellite 22,400 miles up and back down to the Internet, making streaming video and gaming very difficult to run at all.

Cable usually requires a bundle package, requiring you to spend more money purchasing all of their services you may/may not need. Cable also has limited distance and coverage areas. DSL is limited by distance as well. DSL speeds decrease the farther away from the telephone company's central office (CO) you are, and doesn’t work at all if you are more than 18,000 feet away (About 3 to 4 miles).

There are a couple of reasons. First, 5D Networks offers coverage far beyond DSL and Cable limits. Because radio signals travel at the speed of light, there is no loss or degradation in bandwidth speed, thus allowing us to take high speed bandwidth over many miles with little to no latency or speed reduction! As far as our advantages over Satellite/Cellular services go, our service offers faster service, lower prices, no contracts and most importantly no overage charges. For users that have DSL or Cable, they will enjoy the same speeds with 5D Networks, as well as not having to bundle multiple services locked into a contract for up to 2 years. 5D Networks is PURE internet, and the way you like it, contract-free. We are so sure of our service, we require no long-term commitment.

Our antennas vary in shape, but most commonly look like a small satellite dish, or a square flat panel 1 sq ft in size.
