UPDATE on SPEEDCONNECT....sort of

We understand SpeedConnect has some new comments on the FCC website to this effect:



"SpeedConnect will continue to provide high speed internet service to  its subscribers after  the sale of its 2.5  GHz  spectrum to Clearwire Spectrum Holdings III LLC through Viasat, Inc., a  satellite provider of which SpeedConnect is a registered dealer. Once the parties have determined  a closing date, SpeedConnect will contact its customers  with first notice by mail at least thirty  days prior to the switch over, followed up by contact
 through telephone and electronic mail to  best reach each customer.  

 SpeedConnect will offer the Viasat service as an alternative to its  current service at the best possible rate.

 Thereafter, SpeedConnect’s customers will have the option of continuing their relationship with SpeedConnect or
 may transition  to other providers in  their respective markets  for their internet services
  

This means that the FCC has approved sale of SC's 2.5 Spectrum to Clearwire for use of Sprint's cell system, NOT FIXED WIRELESS--that will be GONE!  

Customer's ONLY choice will then be Satellite unless a new Provider pops up.  We have at least one neighbor close by who seems to have already made that transition and hope to catch him and see how it's working. If the prices on this site are the best we can do, good luck!  https://www.speedconnect.com/plans/
