Comcast launches Xfinity NOW Internet - 100 Mbps for $30 a month, or 200 Mbps for $45 a month.
$30.00
NOW Internet just launched* – https://www.xfinity.com/now/internet sorry for the confusion, it's not fixed wireless 5G. You need to be in their grid.
Choose between 100 Mbps for $30 a month, or 200 Mbps for $45 a month. Unlimited data and an Xfinity gateway included. https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/09/co...ile-plans/
*Expanded to all markets but not showing available here yet. Just putting it up for discussion. Never thought I'd be posting Comcast but my experience with VZW Home 5G has gone sour. Sorry for the confusion, some articles make it sound like 5G HOME Fixed Wireless Gateway

If you need internet at home, NOW Internet could be a solid option. Comcast says that what sets NOW apart from other 5G home internet plans is that it relies on Comcast's existing cable network. That often means more reliable speeds and a smoother connection overall. Plus, you get unlimited data and a setup-ready gateway included.

Comcast has rolled out a new internet plan that supposedly won't lock you into an expensive and confusing contract. Unveiled on Thursday, Comcast NOW is a prepaid option that tempts you with no contracts, no data caps, no hardware fees (a free Wi-Fi 5 modem is included), and no prices that shoot up after the first year. The catch? Speeds of 200 Mbps or even 100 Mbps aren't bad for normal internet browsing, but they may not cut it for activities like video streaming and online gaming
From my experience I can get by with 100Mbps for several HD streams but I do noticed the downgrade from the VZW 200Mbs PLUS. Takes longer to change channels.

Classic Comcast/xfinity. I don't see how this is any different than their limited time offers or 12 month contracts that triple in price after the promo ends.
Up to last month the mantra was that if you can enroll in TMobile home internet (which is 5G based and supposed to be a fixed location which is registered with TMobile). You could then take your unit whether there was reception and they "didn't care" (i.e., no consequences). The RV'r community talks about doing this for years, and I've read that some of the tmobile support personnel kind of imply that you can do that if talk to the call center.
However, TMobile just announced a formal "Away" service for roaming with these internet units - https://www.t-mobile.com/news/net...s-and-away and they charge more for it. There are GPS receivers in the internet units so there is expectation that there's going to be a crackdown on people who sign up for a home internet plan and then roam with it.
But now there's reports of delays in the rollout of the Away plan. https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/...n_rollout/
I am paying tons for the max speed tier they offer in my area (1200Mbps download) and I am still stuck with 35Mbps upload.

Note that part of the donation is tax deductible. Additionally, the device with the highest tier is actually meant to be used as a residential modem, because it has a mode where the battery is ignored.
Finally, unlike tmobile home internet, this is truly a hotspot solution, and it is not against the TOS to use it on the go.
